Lesson 125: You May Choose Levity...

We can choose levity or we may choose the things that bring us down or distract us. Sometimes we use addiction and distractions to numb ourselves when we can find other ways to relax. Today we are think of a way to relax without using things like drugs, alcohol, shopping, media etc as a way of numbing it away.

When I truly think about getting to a state of levity without using a distracting agent, I think meditation or spending time in nature would be a good soothing, calming way to relax. Even doing an activity that you enjoy like reading, drawing, walking might be good to clear your head. I think anything that doesn’t cause you harm is something that you should be doing. I say this but sometimes you can’t relax even when doing something you enjoy. I think music might be another alternative at this point or just a guided meditation with some breathing technique will help you through whatever problem you may be facing. Definitely the top of my list is spending time in nature. There is a sense of peace when you’re there and you can gently observe and just take some deep breaths to feel better. The air is fresher and it’s like good energy entering your body I find.

What do you do to relax?
