I know lots of people who have told me that they simply cannot <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>how to relax<\/a>.  One client told me that he feels guilty sitting relaxing on a Saturday \u2013 he feels obliged to fly around the house or garden hell bent on finding something to do.  Another friend recently told me that, whilst Saturday morning is golf time, and although he actually goes out for his round, he doesn\u2019t really play!  He can\u2019t \u2013 his mind is reliving what happened during  last week or what\u2019s happening next week.  He\u2019s playing golf but, not only is he not chilled, he\u2019s not even all there!  Even worse, a client who doesn\u2019t have a care in the world \u2013 great job that he\u2019s really on top of, great personal life, great everything, tells me that when he plays golf he actually feels guilty \u2013 feeling that he should be at home or in the office! <\/p>\n<p>Modern life pretty much demands that we must be constantly on the go.  But there\u2019s a big difference between filling your life with activity and getting the really important things done.  And one of those important things that you must have as an integral part of your life is time to chill.   A New York Times article a few years ago explained that native tribes in the Amazon basin live the life that every New Yorker wants \u2013 seven hours work each week, the rest spent at leisure.  However, New Yorkers simply wouldn\u2019t know what to do with all that leisure.  Sure, there\u2019d be loads of activity crammed into it \u2013 but what about <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>totally chilling<\/a> (like the Amazonians)?<\/p>\n<p>Get yourself an easy chair, sit down and do nothing for thirty minutes \u2013  you\u2019ll be amazed where your mind takes you.  Or find a shade tree, spread out a blanket and just sit down.  This is the quality space that we need in our lives \u2013 not to recharge our batteries, but to clear our heads, let inspiration enter and focus on the crucial things that we need to do to be happy and successful.  Sir Isaac Newton was relaxing under just such a tree when the apple fell for him \u2013 find your tree and you\u2019ll discover that pennies will drop for you.  A little <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>relaxation will change your life<\/a>.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwisdomhealthprosperity.com%2Fselfimprovementmastery%2Fthe-importance-of-relaxation%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_256_24.png\" width=\"256\" height=\"24\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nvar a2a_config = a2a_config || {};\na2a_config.linkname=\"The Importance Of Relaxation\";\na2a_config.linkurl=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/the-importance-of-relaxation\/\";\na2a_config.onclick=1;\na2a_config.show_title=1;\n\/\/--><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/page.js\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It realy is bizarre.
