Hi, Darcy here...
Tension. For me, that equals attacks. Whatever way you relax,
try some of these - I’m getting pretty good at it, in
my old age! Yoga is enormously helpful to me, and don’t
let anyone pressure you into some pretzel logic position! You
know what feels OK to you. Always respect that. Let your instinct
be your guide. And music! Some of my personal picks for yoga,
and relaxing are here on this and my music page. If you can
still enjoy your pet's fur, then smile about it. It's good for
you! If you are too numb to pet them, make up a cat song! They
like your voice (however it sounds) and the attention. Feeling
my cat's fur is a luxury that I still enjoy immensely. |

Island
Bound!
by: Darcy
It doesn’t get better (in my humble opinion) than a tropical vacation.
But, I do it mentally, with the help of my imagination. It’s a time
to really relax, let go. No worrying about money, work, the bills, the
kids, the traffic, the weather, it’s a vacation from your worries!
What’s for dinner? Not on your schedule, right now! This is your
time. Picture yourself in perfect health, running, sunbathing, bobbing
in the ocean, picking wild flowers, horseback riding, picnicking, whatever
floats your boat! But, do it in your mind. Make it as real as possible,
using your senses: smell the air being perfumed by the wildly colored
flowers. Listen to the tropical birds floating high above. Feel the warmth
of the water in the sleepy lagoon, enjoy the scent of the tropics: the
pineapple, the mango, the coconut. For me, it took some practice, but
it’s well worth it. An it won’t cost you anything! Now for
that pina colada....

"Breathing strongly influences mind, body, and moods,"
says Andrew Weil, M.D., editorial director of DrWeil.com."
By simply putting your attention on your breathing, without
even doing anything to change it, you move in the direction
of relaxing...a natural tranquilizer."
