Shock Value: Entry 73 "Relaxation"

TGIF! I am so glad that we have made it through another week. Oftentimes, I believe we all take life for granted. Take a moment with me right now to thank your GOD, gods, or whom or whatever you serve for giving you another day. Now to get back on track, today's topic: Relaxation.

For you worker bees out there today's topic is especially for you. I want to encourage you all out there to take time to relax. Relaxation is very important. People who don't know how to relax feel the stressors of life full force. Stress will kill you and if you don't learn how to relax we may lose you before your time.

Relaxation can be in a number of forms. It can be those activities that you do aimlessly and don't cause a problem for you at all. For some of you, these activities may include and are not limited to: jogging, reading, writing, composing a song, socializing, texting, spending time with friends, taking a nap, playing video games, etc. One or more of these activities may help you relax. If this list is too short and you have no other ideas of how to relax; use GOOGLE to search forms of relaxation. Find a method that works for you and get to relaxing.

I am in no way insinuating that you don't know how to relax, but I am suggesting that you do it more often. You have to make time for you. You should spend as much time taking care yourself as you do helping others. Relaxation can be the difference between life and death. You may think I am exacerbating the issue, but I'm not. Do your homework people. What doesn't kill you only makes your stronger. Just try to relax. Stop worrying about things you can not change and move onto those things you can. Relax, Relate, and Release all those stressors!

Enjoy your weekend and please keep the people in the

Gulf Coast and around the world in your prayers.
