Relaxation technique 3 Apr 2009 This was doing the rounds. I have to say there is absolutely no need for such techniques at my present employer institution, no sir. Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile. 1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream. 2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.. 3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air. 4. No one knows your secret place. 5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world. 6. The soothing sound of a gentle water fall fills the air with a cascade of serenity. 7. The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater. There!! See? It really does work. You’re smiling already. Feel free to forward this if you know others who might benefit from this technique….. Of course, I also like Dexter… Humor

But overlooked in the reports is this guy, who gets an OBE: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOi_wxypeGc&hl=en&fs=1] He’s John… Read More
