5 Tension Breakers for Hectic Lives

 

1. Giggle.

Find a funny YouTube video

Whatever trips your trigger

Google  Psych

Google+ “Psych, Facebook!”

We all just need to take a break and laugh.

2.  Get some goodness for your soul. Engage in conversation.  Check out Soul Pancake, a place for you to chew on life’s big questions.

3.  Yoga.  A great way to clear your thoughts, and strengthen your mind & body.  Find a studio in your area, a book that shows you how to begin or visit The Yoga Diet, a great blog on the yoga lifestyle run by South Method Yoga in Omaha.

4.  Take a Zumba class.  If you take life too seriously sometimes, (like me) this is a great way to work up a sweat and have fun.

5.  Get out into nature.  The Great Plains, specifically, Nebraska, is a wonderful place to start.  You can place yourself into some great wide-open spaces by viewing beautiful photos like these by Michael Forsberg, or better yet, take a road trip here to experience it in person.  There is also nothing like experiencing some awe to put things into perspective.
