Well, laughter is good too. Thanks for this new tool tip. I'm definitely going to try it.

I think sometimes we need to be reminded of simple things like breathing! I especially like Step 7 - go back to what you were doing, regardless of how successful you were at relaxing. I like that you can allow yourself to just try it, and try again later if you're not able to fully get there. Barbara, how has the acupressure been working for you? this is a great exercise.

I am glad for you that they are helping. I hope the mini-practices can benefit you even more and you are able to create some peace and relaxation in your life. Yes, those are my pups - Koko on the left, Finley on they right. They are a constant source of joy and entertainment. What would we do without our critters?

After trying it for a week I was very excited to share. How simple - and how useful. Relaxing is difficult, but like anything we practice, we can get better at it over time. Please do share it with your friends. You are right, this could help with so many struggles. You are so welcome! After trying it for a week I was very excited to share. How simple – and how useful.

I think you will appreciate it once you try it. Yes, Finley was completely over the blue dot on his head by the time I got this shot. They are both such characters. It is a great technique Kathy.

I have been doing deep breathing and mediation lately and it helps a bit. Also am learning to give myself acupressure but its better if you have someone else to do it for you. Are those your dogs??? They are the greatest! Thanks for this! I have been doing deep breathing and mediation lately and it helps a bit.

I am looking forward to learning and turning into a habit for me. I find relaxing to be one of the hardest skills to teach to people and as for myself and many of my friends... to learn. In this life of constant madness, relaxing is so difficult. This is an easy exercise, one that I can implement immediately... and I need to! I plan to share with my friends, I think this is great for those coping with loss, dealing with anxiety, struggling with anger management. Any of these things require the skill to relax. Thank you again for sharing and I LOVE that picture of the dogs!! Take care! Thank you so much for sharing this information! I am looking forward to learning and turning into a habit for me.

Finley looks so much like he's wondering if you're truly serious about the blue dot you just stuck on his forehead? Does he have to keep it? OH that is so priceless!!
