So I turned to these simple stress-relieving techniques from the foremost practitioner of the power of positive thinking, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Try one (or all) for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Sit relaxed in a chair with both feet lightly on the floor. Think of your mind as the surface of a storm-tossed lake. Now picture the waves subsiding, the water becoming as smooth as glass.<\/p>\n<p>Spend a few minutes reliving the most peaceful scenes you\u2019ve ever beheld\u2014a beach at sunset, a green valley in the hush of morning. They have a way of cleansing your mind of worries.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat\u2014slowly, bringing out the melody in each\u2014a series of calming words. \u201cPeace, tranquility, serenity, quietness &#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last one is very similar to the relaxation response (you may have read about it in our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/12-all-natural-ways-to-be-stress-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 all-natural stress busters<\/a>). Though popularized in the 1970s by pioneer in mind-body medicine <a href=\"http:\/\/www.massgeneral.org\/bhi\/about\/benson.aspx\">Herbert Benson,<\/a> it\u2019s an age-old technique, as Dr. Benson himself points out, that people have used (and still do) in yoga, tai chi and prayer.<\/p>\n<p>If tax day or something else has sent your stress level skyrocketing, evoke <a href=\"http:\/\/www.massgeneral.org\/bhi\/basics\/eliciting_rr.aspx\">the relaxation response<\/a>. Sit comfortably. Close your eyes and relax your muscles. Breathe naturally and repeat a word, phrase or prayer (like \u201cpeace,\u201d \u201cThe Lord is my shepherd\u201d or \u201cshalom\u201d) silently or aloud. When other thoughts come to mind, let them go and return to your repetition. Do this for 10 minutes or so.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t you feel more relaxed? I know I do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That\u2019s what an email from my health insurance company informed me this morning.
