Time to relax!

  • “In fact, the very act of climbing forces me to release the tension in my body. I cannot force myself to continue to move up the wall if all my muscles are contracted — I have to relax. With the release of tension in my muscles, I can feel the worry leave my body.” – Relaxing does not mean turning your brain off
  • “Everyone experiences anxiety on some scale. It could be from situations that are totally out of your control or things you’re just nervous about, such as a work project or tough conversation. But here’s the good news: This type of stress doesn’t have to take over your life.” – The Best Songs To Reduce Anxiety And Stress
  • “She says she wrote it to honor a maid she once watched ride the bus in New York City. But it was the woman’s laugh that caught Angelou’s attention. The unnamed woman, who was carrying two shopping bags, laughed whenever the bus stopped abruptly. She also laughed when it stopped slowly.” – Maya Angelou knew how a laugh could be a survival tool
  • “…when you ask people directly, or force them to rank a list of benefits, you don’t always get a clear picture of what they really value. People often have a poor understanding of what makes them happy, and this applies at work, too.” – If You Want to Be Happy at Work, Have a Life Outside of It

Time to relax!

  • “Imagine waking up, instead of to the blaring screech of an alarm, to the calming trill of a Scarlet Tanager, or the distant rhythmic tapping of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. It’s now possible with the Dawn Chorus app from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.” – Wake up with Dawn Chorus, an alarm app that uses soothing bird sounds
  • “Deep sleep is critical to maintaining a robust memory, but both decline with age. A small new study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience suggests that one easy way for older adults to get deeper sleep and stronger memories is to listen to a certain soothing sound called ‘pink noise’—a mix of high and low frequencies that sounds more balanced and natural than its better-known cousin, ‘white noise.’” – The Sound of ‘Pink Noise’ Improves Sleep and Memory
  • “What’s strange, though, is that the sleep schedule we were trying so hard to re-create is a relatively new invention: of all the elements that make up what we consider the natural or normal way to sleep, not one of them seems to have been in force at any time anywhere before around 1800 in Europe and North America. This is worth reiterating: virtually nothing about our standard model of sleep existed as we know it two centuries ago, including the ideal of eight hours of unbroken sleep.” – Sleeping Through the Night Is a Relatively New Invention
  • “Without stress we would blissfully roast our hands against a hot stove, or lop our way into on-coming traffic where smiling motorists would mow us down.  We owe our lives to stress.   When stress is properly applied to our bodies it saves our lives.  We yank our hands away from hot stoves, leap in panicked jerks out of the path of on-coming traffic as the freak-out motorist careens wildly through traffic to avoid us.  Yes, stress is an important part of our survival.  But what about when stress is misused, misinterpreted, or misdirected by our bodies (did I miss any “misses”?)  The same reflexes designed to preserve our fleshy behinds turns on our bodies like a jilted ex-lover.” – When You Understand Stress You Can Manage It
