One of the areas most in need of creative paradigms during busy holiday periods is:
(drum roll):  Stress Management, of course.

And one of the simplest solutions is learning, or re-learning, the habits of regular relaxation.

• Easy on the budget, on the heart, on your total health.
• Good for your productivity, your creativity, and hey, your relationships.

Relaxation is a resilience builder,  socially sanctioned or not!

Here’s a 5-minute video of David Riklan, from Selfgrowth.com, reminding us all how simple, and simply effective, changing our daily stress levels can be.

Be wise — practice good stress management, and see how it can increase your productivity and success.  That’s not really even counter-intuitive, if you think about it.  Quality trumps quantity in this genre.  Let the good relaxing times roll, in work and play, and in relaxing sounds, scents, flavors, sights, and seat cushions!
