What Did You Do Today To Relax?

[justwannabe]

Used my vaporizer with some wonderful home grown organic medical marijuana. Transplanted my plants and worked in my beautiful garden!

Sat near the window and gazed at the trees outside, watching the leaves fall gently to the ground. They looked like golden snow!

I picked the sweet potato's from the garden. Which ended up being laughable because they are smaller then carrots!

Here's my sweet potato:



My garden has been rather sad this year.

Here is a relaxation exercise that works for me. You do each exercise and hold them for 15 seconds, and relax 15-30 seconds in between. If there are some spots that you have extra tension you can go over them again.

1. Raise your eye brows as high as you can
2. Shut your eyes as tight as you can
3. Open your mouth as wide as you can
4. Stick your neck out as far as you can
5. Close your fists and clench them as tight as you can
6. Hold opposite elbows and pretend you are crushing a watermelon
7. Hold both arms and hands straight out in front of you like you are pushing something away
8. Flex your butt muscles
9. Stretch legs straight out in front of you toes pointed
10. Sit on a chair and lift your feet off the floor and clench your leg muscles heels of your feet pointing down
11. Scrunch up your toes

I read the Bible, prayed, got out for a walk, anything to get my mind off what has me unrelaxed. Oh yes, and I bought a snow shovel, so I did not have to worry about our "I'll get to it when I get around to it..." maintnance man here at these apartments. By the time he'd get here, any snow would have melted! (We don't get much snow, but one year we got two feet, so it is best to be prepared, since I have to take my dog out every 6 hours!

I have been playing the Simpsons game on the Nook. It really helps me to relax. I also read alittle today.

I went to my therapist's office, talked, laughed, etc. and it was a great session, which also relaxed me. Then on the busride home, the driver told me a bunch of funny stories about his previous job working as a telephone pole climber, and the many dogs he'd run into over his 30 years at that, before her retired and now enjoys driving buses. I laughed and laughed, then told him some of my daddy's funny stories about being a plumber. I had a wonderful day. Oh, and then I read the rest of the book I was reading about the Amish people and their ways, it was fiction, and fun.

Every day I "relax". I need to learn what to do with my life now that it is adjusted by physical illness, so that I am not always "relaxing". It is driving me batty.

 

[Britt.f7]

Today I have a lot to do, so while I am doing it I will be playing my music loudly, have a glass of wine, and just peel the 15 lbs of potatoes I need for tomorrow. That will be my relaxing.

I had some "Sleepy Time" herb tea made by Celestial Seasonings.

I put my feet up and finished my book. I didn't do the housework but hey ho, the dust will still be there tomorrow.
