You may have heard how it’s good to stop and smell the roses or pet a cat on the street! The reality is how good you feel when you do just this. Often when we are busy and feeling pressed with deadlines we truly do forget to see the beauty around us. We forget to be in the moment and just be calm and allow ourselves to feel relaxed. Try to take a little time to meditate during the day and feel the many benefits of calming your breathing and nervous system. Afterall stress reduces our brain power and can actually reduce our effective thinking of upto 50 IQ points.
