Summer 2005 Newsletter

Tina: “I like to lay in bed and do a sciatic/spine stretch on one side for a few minutes, until I’m almost asleep. Then I switch sides. Just before I fall asleep I put a pillow under my head.”

Cheryl: “I take a warm bath, watch T.V. or read until I’m tired – ear plugs muffle out any unwanted sounds.”

Karen: “I imagine myself floating on a lake or laying in the grass listening to nature’s sounds and watching the clouds drift by as if I were a young child without a care in the world – content and secure in knowing it’s OK to let go and relax now.”

Linda: “Give each and every stress of the day up in prayer before turning out the lights.”

Susie: “I enjoy reading and spending ‘quality’ time with my husband.”

Annette: “Exercise daily to decrease stress and increase fatigue.”

Allison: “Cuddle time with my 2 boys, then we trade back rubs.”

Rhea: “A nice cup of warm tea and CSI-Miami puts me right out.”

Stacey: “I always read a book to help me relax my brain.”

Nancy: “Deep breathing, listen to a relaxation tape.”

Kari: “I lie down, or just stop running in circles.”

Jen: “Get the TV out of the bedroom.”

Kathleen: “Red wine.”
