Stress is one of those things that we can’t avoid nor should we eliminate it. A little bit of stress can be helpful in keeping us motivated and focused on what needs to be done. However, in the fast pace of today’s world combined with the many expectations on us from work, family, friends and the never ending info that is flowing towards us all the time from social media, TV, cell phones… etc. we can often get overloaded and burnt out. More and more people are suffering from anxiety, depression and other health concerns that are being linked back to too much stress. The good news is that we can do something about it for ourselves! Yoga and meditation offer many tools to help restore the parasympathetic nervous system (which is in charge of the relaxation response) and boost our energy. The following video is a small sample of what we can do in as little as 3 minutes to help make effective changes in our life.
