Summertime…Play Hard, Rest Well!
• Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
One secret of relaxation is exertion first. You can do this at your desk; pull your shoulder up tight to your ears, then let them drop and loosen.
Summer gives us great ways to do this with our whole being though. Your summer choices may include some version already; an exhilarating hike, or bike, or paddle, even energetic yard work, followed by a feel-your-whole-body swim, and then chilling in stillness. (OK, now you know what I like to do in summer!)
Where can you give yourself fully into physical activity, such that your mind can relax, and then let your body follow?
What else will make this summer deeply satisfying?
