Prayer is a powerful force. Prayer can take the form of a conversation with our Higher Power or God, or can be based on pre-written prayers, such as the Lord's Prayer, or the Serenity Prayer. When we pray, we remind ourselves that we are not alone, and that there is another force beyond us that can assist us in improving our lives. All of us need to take time to relax. What is relaxation for one person may be nerve-wracking for another.
Relaxation is a personal choice.
The point is, all of us need to take a few moments. Women, especially, have trouble with this principle. We must retrain ourselves into allowing ourselves to take time for ourselves. This often means we need to ask for help. Asking for help may involve assertiveness techniques, or maybe all we have to do is ask.
