Relax ED..

[VINNY100_2]

Dear ED.before you look through Answerbank..may I suggest you Get physically comfortable. Stand or sit with straight back, relaxed arms, and uncrossed legs.


Close your eyes.


Empty your mind: stop thinking and seeing mental pictures.


Focus on your breathing. Put a hand on your stomach; feel it rise and fall with each breath. Is your breathing slow or rapid? Try to slow it down.


Take a deep breath; feel your diaphragm expanding. Hold it for two seconds. As you slowly exhale, say to yourself, "Relax." Take another deep breath and again hold it for two seconds. This time, as you slowly exhale, say to yourself, "Relaxed and ready."


To finish your calming exercise, make sure your mind is calm and free of thoughts. Then take another deep breath from your diaphragm, hold it for two seconds, and exhale while saying, "Relax." And when ready, take a last deep breath from your diaphragm, hold it and exhale while repeating, "Relaxed and ready."
Now I hope you will be able to cope with all the stuff thats been going on over the last couple of days..goodluck.(:)

Lying down in a darkened room could be a great help.

I've needed the Rescue remedy just to read it!

I was going to suggest a Jamaican Woodbine, or pop anything which comes to hand. Poor AB Ed is going to need it. But I wonder if Ed logs in on it's day off and sees everything over the weekend. Probably taken a "sickie".

[Robinia]

I'm just warming up some soup for you Ed - you need to keep your strength up.

(not a word neti!!)

[jno]

relax ED, Vinny? More like bewitched ED, bother ED and bewilder ED...

[netibiza]

Have a care Robinia that soup you served me was beef stew and custard - what was that green fluff floating on top????

[Robinia]

tut - it was chopped parsley..... some people are so ungrateful.

[Robinia]

[netibiza]

Penicillin has already been discovered Robinia - give up trying!!!!

[netibiza]

Robinia - was so busy on here that I've burnt the Shepherd's Pie we were having for dinner - your penicillin culture doesn't look so bad now !!!! Pass it over yum.
