Take a Simple Retreat to De-stress Yourself January 19, 2007
Posted by Wen in : Exercising, Stress , trackbackThe stress of modern life can be very overwhelming. When you have too much on your mind, your body will tend to release excess stress hormones like adrenaline, non-adrenaline, and an adrenal-cortex hormone which can be harmful to your body. Also, your body will experiences other changes. Your heart rate start to increase, your blood pressure goes up, your respiration levels change, you begin to sweat, and you become unable to process your food because digestion shuts down.
While any type of physical action can slow or even stop the effects of stress, sitting at your desk or in the car can simply causes all of the stress reactions in your body to continue. At some point, your body will become so full of the stress reactions that you cannot handle the simplest of daily tasks. This is the time to retreat from the everyday stress of life.
A good retreat doesn’t have to mean vacation. It can simply mean finding a room in your house you enjoy and spending some quality time there. For many people, this room is their bathroom. While bathrooms used to be purely useful in nature, today’s designs and accessories have changed the bathroom’s image.
One option for turning your bathroom into a stress relief center is to change your shower head. Some deliver water massages. Others create a steam room right in your bathroom. Additionally, most shower heads are now adjustable, which helps because people aren’t all the same size.
If you want a retreat, it’s nice to finally have one that fits you as a person. Bath seats are also popular now. Because people work such long hours, most of them don’t want to be on their feet any longer than they have to. With the proper sized shower head, it is possible to sit on a comfortable bath seat and enjoy your style without putting additional pressure on your feet.
Stress is, at times, overwhelming. It is important to find everyday retreats that allow you to relax and let go of your worldly troubles.

expectations, a person experiences
stress. If the person does not have very
high expectations, he or she may not
experience stress. I found informations
