Tips - Inner Strength Try the following breathing exercise to help you maintain inner strength, focus, and optimal creativity: The Squeeze and Breathe From a colleague. Dear Family and Friends: This is a perspective from my
experience at this astounding time in our life that may be helpful to
you and/or others. I slept poorly last night and felt many
stress symptoms, especially today.
Since in my career as a physical therapist, I study and teach stress
reduction techniques, especially related to breathing better, I
figured that many of us are feeling that way, too. Then I
remembered that even though I didn't have the TV set/ radio on all the
time, I was watching and listening and reading and looking at the
pictures quite a bit. My daughter had trouble sleeping after
watching some of it, too. I realized that they often repeat the
same or similar devastating scenes over and over again,
and like Pavlov's dogs, that conditioning of that fear and shock is
too much for most bodies to deal with, without having significant
stress reactions. I remembered then what I did during my
pregnancy during the Gulf War, which of course was of much smaller
magnitude by comparison. I did not watch TV, and just read an
update, for only a little while each day that it was necessary.
I concentrated on praying for peace and doing all
the things that help reduce stress, including being with good
friends, eating nutritiously, having peaceful and fun experiences, and
good
aerobic exercise. Now I've decided to take a similar approach
and minimize my exposure to the media, esp when it is repetetive and
stressful, just keeping updated as to what is important to know for
much shorter periods of time. I think this is especially
important for children and young adults.
What helps the most is to turn to
a Higher Power ( for me, God), who helps us overcome evil with good.
Thank you all for your love and caring, that is the greatest gift we
give each other. That love is so inspiring in all the heroes that have
shown such courage and compassion this week. Love, Margaret Leong.
