Thanks for this information. I think this might be the missing piece for me, so I’m going to add it to my challenge. . .I truly believe in meditation/yoga, but rarely do it.

Thanks also for the emails with links–it’s great to have those resources pointed out without plowing through the archives.

I love this post. I’m one of those people who has to schedule relaxation. And I find that my life really suffers if I miss my yoga or meditation times. I’m high strung and know I’m a cortisol factory. Thanks for the timely reminder!

I totally agree, a meditation room in the office sounds like a great idea. Mark?

I’ve never been able to “force” myself to relax or meditate. Ironically, it stresses me out by thinking such thoughts as “What a waste of time! I should be doing laundry, or dishes, or…”

I’d rather just sit on the couch with a book, and then zone-out naturally when I get to a boring part.

RR has truly made such a difference in my life. The thing that really helped me is to focus on being in the moment or “be here now”. Try it. It’s insane at the thoughts that run through our minds every single minute. Try stopping the insanity for even 1 minute and you’ll see it’s not very easily done. It takes practice but the more you do it, the longer you can be present without any other thoughts entering in. I take this time to look at things like I’ve never seen them before. I take in every detail, every color, every smell… it’s truly an amazing and relaxing experience.
