Release stress in just ten minutes

Admit it, you need to calm down, or you'll just about burst. Well, here are some tips to destress:

• Be loyal to yourself and take ten minutes off for just yourself
• Put on soft music in a quiet room with a bed.
• Now take two thin strips of cotton, the size of your eye, dip in cold scented (probably rose)water. Lie down flat on your back and put them over closed eyelids, press around the edges to feel the coolness.
• While you are lying down, tell yourself that you will think of nothing...and I mean absolutely nothing. You will only listen to the music and you imagine the coolness seeping through your eyelids into the inner recesses of your being.
• And while you are at it, you will forgive every little disturbance in your life, even if you can't immediately forget.
• Dip the cotton strips again if they begin to feel a bit warmer and slip back into your reverie.
• Concentrate on how the membrane of your eyes is slowly relaxing and how your limbs are loosing their stiffness.
• Imagine yourself in space, the vastness, the immense space and remind yourself that you are just a particle in time, a time that's fast fleeting.........while the coolness envelops you and wipes out all your worries...at least for now!

Sure, life goes on, but you can still take ten minutes out for yourself, can't you?
