How to stop worring and start living...III

PREVENT FATIGUE AND WORRY

"...rest is not a matter of doing absolutely nothing. Rest is repair...".

"...worry, tenseness, and emotional upsets are three of the biggest causes of fatigue...".

"...tension is a habit. Relaxing is a habit. And bad habit can be broken, good habits formed...".

"...read this paragraph, and when you've reached the end, lean back, close your eyes, and say to your eyes silently: let go, let go. Stop straining. Stop frowning. Let go. Let go...".

The reason the eyes are so important in relieving nervous tension is that burn up 1/4 of all the nervous energies consumed by the body.

Strangly enough, a good hard floor is better to relax on than inner-spring bed. It gives more resistance. It is good for the spine.

"...one of the main causes of fatigue is boredom...".

"...our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration, and resentment...".

"Our life is what our thoughts make it"
Marcus Aurelius
