Stressed OUT? ……. Stretch OUT! – 1

Text Color

Good day to everyone! Now I’m sharing with you about stress, I’m sure that many will be hit by this article. Stress has become a common ailment, no longer “The Yuppie Disease” that afflicts only upwardly mobile young professionals out to make a name for themselves in the corporate world. Stress afflicts everyone, especially working parents who must struggle with two (or more) roles everyday. There are many ways of relieving stress

A common stress-relieving technique is the head roll, which others call the “neck roll”. This exercise helps relieve tension in the neck and shoulders, the body’s usual stress spots. Sit on a chair with both feet on the floor. Put your hands on your lap and slowly roll your head clockwise for four or five times. Let your neck extend as far as it will reach comfortably. Don’t force it. Take your time, allowing at least eight to ten seconds per rotation. If it helps, put on some soothing music, turn down the lights and close your eyes. Then reverse.
