Just Relax!

I found this article very interesting, because i felt that i could relate well to it. It starts off by telling us about a lady who is trying to manage a stressful life. She goes all the way as to buy $300 dollar relaxation tapes to help her out. It later goes into the many different products and treatements that people can and have paid for to get rid of the stress in their lives. The big question in the article is whether or not these methods that we spend money on really work. To some people they do, whether it be the placibo affect or that they actually work. It seems that people will try anything just so they are stess free. Different methods consist of aroma therapy, acupuncture, talk sessions, yoga, and different types of tapes. Other people say that you don't need to pay to relax, that there are other ways to relax. Simply working out could relax a person, or making something relazxing that once was stressful: for example rush hour, that is perfect time to learn a language.


I find it very interesting how stressful we make our lives. Some people think that they have to fill up there plate or else they are wasting their time. In the end they become more stressed out then productive. I've heard of certain companies over seas will take time out of the work day so their employees can meditate. I find that a good workout does a good job getting rid of my stress. It seems that everyone just has to find what suites them, whether it costs money or not.
