Learning to Recharge

How you plan the activities of your day can either break you down and wear you out or build you up and encourage renewal and repair. Being in constant motion and driven to meet all obligations (even those that are joyous), you may unwisely forgo rest and relaxation. If you're not careful, this can lead to imbalance, particularly if you are ignoring signals communicated by the body--such as dry skin, indigestion, constipation, headaches, depression, insomnia, anxiety, nervousness and increased susceptibility to illnesses. The mind has to learn to respect the signals the body is giving in terms of rest, balanced activity, diet and daily routines. Click HERE to learn more about the importance of recharging.

My favorite way to "recharge" is to get a massage. I absolutely love being able to just relax and have someone else work all the tension out of my shoulders and neck....

I agree, gemini72! But I'd also throw in a facial, mani/pedi, and a sea salt body wrap just for good measure to make SURE that I'm completely relaxed! Oh yeah, and follow all that up with dinner with friends at the Melting Pot! Now THAT's what I call relaxing! : )
