My Adventure in Relaxation

As I listened to Journey On to Relaxation I felt immediately relaxed. In the world of a busy life I have always thought relaxation is important to anyone. As a busy 21 year old that attends full time college online and works full time, relaxation is the key to keeping sane. When you don’t take time for yourself and enjoy things you love then you aren’t doing yourself any favor. Looking at past experiences, I have learned the hard way when it comes to time management and relaxation. Living in the fast lane will eventually wear on your body and affect you emotionally and physically. There are so many different ways for you to relax and relieve stress that can be beneficial to your body. Doing activities like meditation and yoga are two simple ways to help your body.  Activities like these seem small and unimportant, but in reality they have a big impact on our body and mind. For me utilizing relaxation techniques is a must in order to maintain the best focus on my goals. Having listened to Journey On to Relaxation, it has helped me better understand the benefits of relaxation.

  1. Brittany,

    You are very wise for your years! Most young people take it for granted that they have plenty of time to burn the candle at both ends with no ill effects. Unfortunately, we don't see the effects until it is too late to turn back the clock. Meditation and yoga are the best ways I have found to maintain. I got away from both a few years ago and am now trying to regain my discipline. It is hard with the busy lives we all lead, but so worth the effort.

  2. Hey Brittany,

    I am not sure if I am even doing this right for the class, as far as posting to your blog but I thought I would give it a try. I really enjoyed your blog. You are so right about needing to relax with all the stress out there. Living in the fast lane as you put it, will definitely lead to problems down the road. I really want to get into meditation and yoga and this class has definitely made me a lot more interested in it. You did a great job with blog post :).

  3. Hey there Brittany, I have to agree with Carrie that you are wise for your age :) Its refreshing to hear that you are learning the importance of time management and taking care of your mental state now before you are overwhelmed with other obstacles that life can throw in your face. Relaxation is important on so many levels even if its for 5 minutes a day. We have to start somewhere, right? I look forward to reading the exciting adventures of a 21 year old :)
