“Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body.”

— Norman Vincent Peale

The body is a hardy machine, but many of us push it too far. We are a culture of overworked, over-stressed people who often care more about meeting deadlines than taking care of ourselves. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can break the cycle of tension and anxiety by listening more closely to what our bodies tell us. When you feel exhausted, when your brain is fried and you can’t generate ideas to save your life, don’t keep going. Stop. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, find the moment you’re in, and get lost in it. You’ll come back refreshed.
