Although it is more challenging than deep relaxation, it has additional benefits in terms of mental clarity, improved concentration, and a more positive attitude towards life. We are social creatures. Strong, supportive relationships are essential for happy, balanced living. They are also powerful resources in helping us deal with potentially stressful situations. Don't take your relationships for granted - friendships require nurturing, so make a conscious effort to see people that you like and enjoy their company.
Interests Absorbing interests are a good buffer against stress and a great source of pleasure.
Find things that you enjoy, and make them a regular part of your life. Consider activities such as golf, gardening, music, writing, tennis, bridge, bowls, painting, singing or dancing. Research shows that people who have absorbing interests are happier with their lives than those who don't. Physical Exercise Regular exercise is not only good for your health, but also for your mind. Exercise releases tensions and is excellent for diffusing emotions such as anger and frustration.
