Relax, Already

One can only wish for stress to go away. But no one person can run away and hide from it because there are already a lot of stressors just around you!

Your boss wants a report and it should be given in an hour and you haven’t even started it. A mother of two juggles house chores and tending to the older child’s assignment and the younger one’s feeding. A high school student reviewing for a major exam. You, thinking of what to have for lunch later. Even small things can bring you a lot of pressure and can get you in the brink of breaking down from stress if it is not managed properly.

Relax, already! Stress stiffens the blood vessels, restricting blood flow and putting you at higher risk of heart disease. To feel less crazed, try meditation, which research show can relax the lining of blood vessels.
By relaxing in any form, you are helping yourself stabilize your breathing. When you are relaxed, you feel your tense muscle unclench. This lessens your blood pressure from shooting up. Stabilized breathing can supply more oxygen to your brain making you more relaxed and making you able to think more properly.

Stress no more. Meditate your way through it.
