While emailing with a New York Times reporter about memory tips, he wrote:
"Judy: Trying to stretch my mind, but it's stretched to the limit, I'm afraid, and feeling the wear and tear of the strain."
Here's my reply to him - perhaps it speaks to you as well:
"I hear your pain from the strain of too much on the brain.
When I'm in that spot, these three easy strategies work:
1. I take a breathing space break often throughout the day. It's easy. A simple deep breath in through my nose, filling my belly with air to the count of four, and then breathing out through my mouth to the count of six as if floating a feather in the air.
2. I meditate to calm my mind and give it resting time.
3. I give myself permission to take even a twenty-minute holiday and do something totally different and fun."
Let me know if you find the above helpful. Also let me know what destressers you have up your sleeve.Blog-on!
