ground_squirrelIf you’re reading this, then you are probably wondering what to do get the most stress relief with the less effort.  Simple — take time out every day for cuteness!  Think I’m being cute?  Not entirely.

In Japan, there is a robot harp seal called Paro that acts as therapy for those in need of relaxation to help them Find the inner strength to heal.  Paro goes to nursing homes and hospitals where therapy animals are not allowed for one reason or another.  Why was a harp seal selected and not some other baby animal?

Lazy Man’s Yoga

Thai Massage is also called Lazy Man’s Yoga or Yoga Massage, Thai massage is believed to have originated in India more than two thousand years ago. Brought to Thailand by monks, the practice became influenced by aspects of Chinese medicine. Thai massage combines assisted stretching with acupressure massage. Anyone familiar with yoga will recognize the stretches done in Thai massage.

Thai massage is done on a mat on the floor. You remain fully clothed. It is important that you wear loose comfortable clothing for your massage so that your ranges of motion are unrestricted.

224979848_29c41f1812Every time I go to practically any store now, I head for the light bulb aisle. I’m in the midst of a search for a compact fluorescent 6500K White, 100 watt, three way bulb. I’ve been slowly replacing all of my light bulbs with CF bulbs — they’re twice as expensive as normal light bulbs, but last ten times as long and use a quarter of the electricity.

What does a light bulb have to do with relaxing, though?

What do you see?"I really don’t know clouds at all."  — Joni Mitchell

Decision making causes stress.  ANY kind of decision making causes stress.  For those of us who have made some stink-bombs of decisions in the course of a lifetime, even making a minor decision like what to have for dinner can cause stress.  For small decisions, you could contact a fortune teller to ask what your best plan should be.  Or, you could consciously relax and let a random image generator make the decision for you.  That way, if something goes wrong, you can blame the random image generator and not yourself.

Elephant Massage

Massage seems like such a new thing — a recent technique to help alleviate stress and pain. However, it is actually one of the earliest medical techniques that humanity has created.

The oldest known written description of massage dates from around 3000 B.C. — about 5000 years ago! That document, the Cong-Fu of the Toa-Tse, is Chinese and has remained available. In the 1700s, it was translated into French.
