We finally have a day off. One that we have been looking forward to. Only to be struck down with some kind of bug which makes us feel rotten. These symptoms can be a sign of leisure illness and they are often linked to stress caused by work overload and pushing ourselves too hard before taking time off.
Sometimes it is not until we stop the ‘rollercoaster ride’ that our body responds, and we experience these flu or cold like symptoms.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Relaxation Day:
Vacations are important to our health and well-being, so don’t wait for the ‘right’ time. Make plans to use all of your vacation allotment, whether it be a day off, an extended weekend or a longer vacation period.
Do not over-program your days off. Look for activities that are relaxing and rejuvenating.
Promote relaxation. Try deep breathing, visualization, yoga or a massage.
Get involved in a hobby. Try gardening, fishing, boating, or reading a book. Reading something uplifting activates the same positive emotion center as experiencing a happy moment first-hand.
Get out and Play. Play is important for all aspects of our lives, including creativity and relationships. When we play, we trigger a mix of endorphins that lift our spirits and the relationships that we form during play remind us that we are not alone in this world. Playing with a pet can elevate levels of serotonin and dopamine, which calm and relax us.
