Relaxation

Hello again to my classmates!

One would think that relaxing would be an easy task. I am sure that for some people it is, but for me the relaxation exercise was actually quite a challenge. It is hard for me to get my brain to slow down and relax when my body does. Even when I was listening to the exercise my head was going a mile a minute. I was thinking about what I had to do for work, what I had to get done still for school, what we were having for dinner that night, my ever growing list of house work, and all the bills that I still haven't paid. It is no easy task to get everything to turn off and really concentrate on the task at hand. I feel that I need to keep this relaxation technique on file and try it again at a less stressful time in my life. Hmmmm...that seems a bit counteractive doesn't it? Perhaps I need to really push myself to put my health first and try to achieve a higher level of whole body health. This would of course include my psychological health which is the most difficult for someone as busy and stressed as I always seem to be. However, how will I ever reach inner happiness and health if I don't take the time to put myself first. Everything else should be on the back burner and my well being should be first. I think it is time for me to make a list of life priorities, and I think I know what should be number 1.

Thanks,

Kaitlin
