7 Senses-lifting What?

Stress is like an illegal recruitment agency. It keeps dropping in everyday, in any form, like it pesters our lives to make a living. 

We, too always have a choice to either close our doors or give it a space to rent in our minds. I am no life expert but my ability to slay unwanted stress made me understand that it is an inevitable part of nature. 

Nature is nature. And the key to having a harmonious relationship with nature is to not fight against it but to work for it. When we deny its existence that's when we slip, say, our own carnality showing off.

Now here's my personal remedy. The 7  senses- lifting things I do or choose to have to work out stress, being an unfortunately ever existing part of nature. Senses-lifting, huh? Well, it isn't found in Mr. Webster's, just in case you are curious for a little searching. :D But they are proven, so you can make use of them too or you can draw out some ideas which you can modify to suit your preference.

1. The look of a nicely shot photo

Anything pleasant to the eyes has an uplifting effect, right? 

2. A skyline photography

Aaah, breather! A skyline view has a reflective effect on me that allows me to meditate about everything, far from the busy earth surface. 

For a while I can be lost in thought and feel like it's possible to fly. Illusive, I know, but invigorating.

3. The smell of freshly opened books and magazines

The supple feeling is there. The fresh scent of paper and ink that your kindle cannot give you. Plus when your fingers first touch the glossy texture that makes you feel excited for the new things you're going to learn after reading. 

4. The feel of a starlit night

Stars are like tranquil Christmas lights scattered in heaven. It is still and deep like how your thoughts can be. Doesn't it give you peace? When you finally retire to your bedroom after a jam-packed day? 

5. The sound of a Jazz music

Beegie Adair? Or Michael Buble? They're just sooo soothing. 

6. The feel of a morning breeze

Humid. Calm. You know, the marks of new beginnings. A perfect sanctuary for prayer.

7. The taste of a melting ice cream

Guilty pleasures! But what's de-stressing with your comfort food without thinking about the calories. The relaxing effect of a melted ice cream as it meets your throat. 

There you have it. Working out stress using "senses-lifting" things. It's a new word now. Teehee!

What else can you add?

Good-Mood Tips for Busy Bodies

            

With today’s cosmopolitan busyness and technological indulgence, it’s hard to keep up with the time and still be able to maintain positivism. There is no boundary between work and home. I learned a lot of that when I started working up to 12 hours a day in the hospital for the past two months. 

Stresses come in greater amount and out and back again. There is almost never enough time to breathe from the pressure weight and hassle. And I think you have been busy and enfeebled, too with your life because if not, you won’t be here in this post.

When everything around you begins to cut down your space into nothing but work. And if given a choice between courage and desolate, you choose the latter, you surely have gotten your wellness in complete disproportion.  

For a while, you need to pull yourself up a bit and set back a good mood. You cannot just continue life in desolation because we all know it’s unhealthy.

How do you raid off unhappiness then and take little steps back to wellness?
