It’s difficult to find some down-time and relax on most days, over the New Year and the holiday season, it gets even harder to make time to relax!
We are often on an auto-pilot mode as we get through our days but there is much benefit to be had by taking a time-out and focusing a little more on relaxation. Our body needs rest and recuperation as much as it is naturally geared toward activity and movement.
The right balance
Finding the right balance for you as an individual is paramount. What is “normal” for you may not be normal for someone else! Anxiety can quickly build if it remains unchecked, and the effects of anxiety and stress can be quite damning to our health overall. It can affect our physical, mental and emotional well being in numerous ways.
When the body is on constant over-drive it weakens and becomes less adept at functioning at its best. For instance, it can cause issues such as becoming more prone to injury and illness, feeling depleted in energy, lowered mood and mental function, weakened digestive and immune function, skin disorders, and hormonal problems that affect the thyroid.
All of us can suffer the physical and emotional effects of anxiety and stress, albeit differently. Men may internalize their symptoms, whilst women may be more apt at expressing it. Either way, we are all human and we all need to be mindful of the benefits of engaging in restoration and “chill” time!
