Stress Relief

"Terminology"*

*The man told his doctor that he wasn't able to do
all the things around the house that he used to do.

When the examination was complete, he said,
"Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English
what's wrong with me."

"Well, in plain English," the doctor replied, "you're just lazy."

"Okay, doc," said the man. "Now give me the
medical term so I can tell my wife."

"Stress Relief"*

*Sit quietly and inhale deeply and slowly through your nose. Exhale slowly.

Picture yourself near a stream.

Birds are softly chirping in the crisp cool mountain air. Nothing can
bother you here.

No one knows this secret place.

The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of
serenity.

The water is clear.

You breathe deeply.

You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you're holding
under the water.

Look. It's the person who caused you all this stress in the first place.

What a pleasant surprise.

You let him up ... just for a quick breath ... then ploop! ...

Back under he goes.

You allow yourself to take as many deep breaths as you want.

There now ... feeling better?
