Muggy Morning

It's a Friday morning and the weather outside is muggy. Sombre clouds have darkened the horizon. There's no breeze. The weather is still and it looks like nature is waiting for a signal from someone to download its burden.
Everyone goes through days like this where their burden is so much that it needs to break out and get freed from its container. Just like nature has its escape valves that get released when the pressure builds up to intolerable levels, we humans too have escape valves that we need to consciously release so that the built up pressure is removed.

Are you aware of your escape valves and do you consciously release the pressure in a safe and healthy manner?

These are some of the ways that we can release stress in a safe and healthy manner:

A) Remove clutter in your personal life:
  1. Clean out the draws; 
  2. Empty out your purse or wallet and remove unwanted stuff
  3. Throw away or give away unwanted or long unused clothes
  4. Polish your shoes 
  5. De-clutter your mobile - remove old unwanted contacts and information
  6. Clean up your laptop or computer
  7. Tidy up your wardrobe
  8. Have a haircut 
B) Meet or speak to old friends who make you laugh

C) Immerse yourself in nature - beach, lawns, forest walk, etc

D) Go for a jog or play a vigorous game

E) Do yoga nidra 

This is only an indicative list. make your own and cross out those that are addictive or abusive to your body or mind. 

De-stress yourself and release pent up emotions. Only you can take care of your body and mind.

Be grateful that you have this opportunity to clean up, de-tox and get more energised.

Have a lovely day.
