Is Peacefulness Scientific?
According to a study reported last Friday in National Geographic, if we want to live longer, we need to stop worrying. As I read that, fellow blogmates, I wonder if death-blows to longevity might include the various stress-cases in our lives which press us into serving neuroses, rather than pursuing our own healthier strategies for nurturing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
In these heavy duty times, it seems scientifically correct to take a peace break -- one in which nothing -- not even the news -- can deter us from investing dedicated time to daily manage stressors, and to plan for some happiness, too. I'm going to do Pilates today, meditate, and eat salads. How about you, what strategies can you share? What gifts will you give to yourself today to lighten your load, and lengthen your life?
Best, as ever,
Tish
