Today I am beginning this blog to let the people of Stockbridge Community Church and anyone who chooses to read it get a little closer to me.  It is my desire as I share on this blog about what God is doing in my life through the good times and bad that you will draw life principle and your faith will grow as you read this blog.

 

As I begin my day I have learned the important of starting it off right.  By getting up 30 minutes early and learning to practice some relaxation techniques.

 

I would like to share them with you.

 

The first one is to get yourself comfortable and take deep breaths from you abdomen.  You breathe in slowly and watch your stomach rise and release the air slowly.  It has been proven that most people who are continually stressed out are people who hold their breath or breathe shallow from their chest.  As I breathe slow and deep I say to myself, my body is relaxed and my mind is alert to love deeper and to be more patient with people and to more relaxed.  Once I practice that kind of breathing for about five minutes I go the next step and I will share that with you tomorrow.  Go ahead now and give the breathing a try and see how it brings your heart rate down as you begin to relax.  I hope you have a great day.
