Relaxation Tips

How long have you been staring at the computer screen? An hour? Two? Even longer? Throughout our daily lives, we are constantly taking our vision for granted, often times even abusing it to the point where we develop discomfort due to long, intense sessions.

If you aren’t convinced about taking the initiative to relieve eye strain and protect your eyes, maybe you’ll want to do so for your productivity at work: computer-vision-syndrome.org states that by refusing to correct or improve your vision, your productivity level at the computer is capable of decreasing by 20 percent.

The Dead Sea lies at the bottom of a deep valley. It is actually a part of a much larger sea that was left over 2 million years ago. Sitting at 1300 feet below the sea level, this is the lowest natural place on earth.

The concentration of salt in this stretch of water is 10 times more than what you will find in any of the oceans.

Clean and untouched air of the Dead Sea makes for a healing environment that you will not find anywhere else in this world.

Salt of the dead sea is made up of natural healing elements that are supposed to be present in our bodies, but they are often lost due to our modern way of living.

Have you ever sat in bed, knowing that it was time to sleep, but you just couldn’t force yourself to actually sleep?

Maybe, if you’re like me, you were taking care of business right up until the moment you decided to sleep, and now your mind won’t stop reeling.

Or maybe you just have a lot of worries built up, and they won’t let you rest. These are just a few examples of things that can keep us from getting to sleep and staying asleep like we should.

Sometimes, we decide to get back out of bed and finish the work we had left. I know when I do this it doesn’t help, but actually makes it worse. Working just makes me more active, and instead of relaxing, I become even more entangled in the work that I could be saving for the next day.

Being active isn’t the state of body you want to be in right before you go to bed, or even as you climb into bed.

I know this might sound crazy, or even too good to be true, but in all actuality, we should begin to relax at least one hour before we plan on “hitting the hay.”

This one hour should be used to create a relaxed state of mind and body, and can be achieved by finding the method of relaxing that works for you. One method that many use is to listen to relaxing music before and during their sleep.

There are many kinds of music to listen to, but one of my favorites, that I think you might like as well, is Japanese BGM. Japanese BGM is actually Japanese background music.
