People complain that they are stressed out, that they can’t relax.  Dogs and cats relax.  People are smarter than dogs and cats.  So why would people have a problem with relaxing?

Maybe being smart is part of the problem.  You can load your brain up with a lot more than it can tend to in the moment.   It can pick up jobs without your noticing anything.  It can work on jobs you have to worry about in the future.  It can work on remembering things you don’t want to forget.  Or on remembering things you really would like to forget. 

Those extra jobs can keep you from relaxing.  Unless you find them and do something about them.  You don’t have to do anything big about them.  Just putting something on your schedule for later attention will probably be enough.  Use the Relax Clipit to get started on this.

Your ability to relax is in direct proportion
to your ability to trust life.
