To recover from the stress in life do you watch T.V.?

Are there better options?

I thought that the following posting by a member of the Nokia Wellness Diary team on the Nokia Beta Labs website had some positive solutions. The writer said that there are four main strategies to reduce stress and to restore your resources:
• “Stop thinking of the stress factor, for example work. Occupy your mind with something else during your free time.
• Relax and take a deep breath. Take time for yourself to do relaxing things you enjoy, for example, listening to music, walking in nature, reading a book or meeting friends.
• Take control of your free time. Are you able to choose what you do in your free time? If not, think about what you could do to increase your ‘me’ time.
• Do something in which you can experience success and mastery. Strengthen your self-esteem and skills through inspiring challenges, such as learning a new language or a new hobby.”

Did you notice that many of the suggestions included quiet or reflective time? I believe that time to be in silence is key. This is because it is only in the silence can we hear what needs to be done to write the finest chapter in our lives. The constant noise of our world is distracting us from what really needs to be done.

What can you do to find more silence in your life?
