7 Healthy Ways to Unwind on Weekends

When the weekend arrives, many
people don't know how to "unwind"
in a healthy way. Today I submit
to you ...
7 Healthy Ways to Unwind on Weekends
1. Take a sauna - Make sure you drink
plenty of fluids, before and after. At the
end of a long day, even during the week,
I like to to sauna.
2. Hot tub - Get in some warm water and
let the "jets" do their magic on your muscles.
3. Get a massage - I recommend a massage
at least once a month. When I'm in China, I
get one everyday.
4. Go for a long walk with "nature" - Find a
special trail, go to the beach or hike a mountain
path - just get out there and stroll while inhaling
and exhaling and feeling how good it is to be
outside, breathing fresh air.
5. Read something - Notice I didn't say watch
tee-vee. You'll draw more inspiration and
appreciation for life from a good book than you
ever will from passively watching tee-vee - esp.
the so-called "news." Who needs anymore of that?
Not me.
6. Spend time with those you love. Need I say more?
7. Do some stretching exercises. Believe it or don't -
but stretching isn't just good for your muscles. It's also
good for your mind. Bridging, for example, is fantastic
for ridding yourself of depression. If you're ever feeling
stressed, down or depressed, practice the bridge as well
as the other stretching exercises as seen in Combat
Stretching - www.mattfurey.com - And,
If you're not able to do the bridge just yet -
then lie across a gymnastics ball and feel all the
tension melt out of your back.
