Flowers Help reduce Stress

Stress is a commonly used word, 

 one that affects our health, daily life
& it is Everywhere

I'm sure we've all been affected by stress from different sources and in various different ways.

Taking our Lives back

For many it is a daily occurrence with many triggers.

Add to it and if you're like me when we get multiple factors attacking us at the same time, it can be quite overwhelming.

We might have a bad day occasionally but then sometimes its a bad week, month or it can even seem like a bad year.

There are many causes and depending on how you ask the question on Google you can get responses for causes, triggers, symptoms, treatment and more.

Stress can cause both physical and emotional issues that quickly add up to a long list.

The ways to help can be both easy solutions and more intense depending on the person, age, symptoms and possibly many other factors in the mix.

While a bit of Stress is often needed to help us win the race, escape from the wild bear or immediate crisis, we have to learn how to calm down after the bear or crisis has left us and we're safe.

I know from lots of experience that stress loves to make any other issues much worse, it thinks we're the beast and holds on tight. 

We all know that we need to breathe, relax, exercise, eat right, have a hobby and lots of good thoughts. Add into that is to sleep well, have friends to talk to and whatever else you like to do.

But, do we do it.

I know it's hard to find time to do a lot of what we need to do so how can we get to feel better.

I guess we really need to make ourselves accountable for making the effort to BE better.

Maybe we can start slow to create a new habit and get help and support from others when needed.

We are all very smart and talented and we know ourselves, what works for us and what defeats us, or makes us quit our good intentions. 

If any of this sounds familiar - I'm right here in this with you. 

We all have a story and looking back on mine even though I've been proactive over the last 40 years, I could have done a lot more to help myself build up and support my health and future. 

Now my age also adds into it and things can take longer to get better, rebuild and it's sometimes Harder to ask for HELP. 

We can't change the past so the importance of our Future Life is connected to the WHY it is important. And, only each one of us can answer that most important question.

Are your children or grandchildren benefiting from this wonderful program?

Dona Anderson

 I wanted to make a combo post for you of earlier posts I shared about new programs being introduced into the schools to help the children with social and emotional learning.

 It also incorporates relaxation techniques for breath awareness, focusing and mindfulness to help the students reduce stress, be happier and overall healthier.

 First start off with this Ted Talk with Goldie Hawn and Dan Siegel

 Second is another video from the Hawn Foundation Mind Up Program 

 Third is a PDF article adding in more information from a study done about the program.

Help Spread the Word!

This WILL Change Lives!

There's lots of info on Meditation and Relaxation Techniques
on this Blog but I picked this earlier post about Stress for you
as it also has a link with even more info.

Breathe and let these Gentle Movements 

Relax your Body and Mind

I don't think of  this as exercise, instead for me it's connecting to my breath, my body, and my soul.

As always only do movements as you are able.  Just watching these movements is relaxing and  connects you to your breath.

I hope you enjoyed the video.
