THE JOYS OF STRETCHING

This is the year to "stretch" in all ways possible - your budget... your muscles... your imagination!

Stretching your budget. Are you guilty of "unconscious" or mindless eating? It is for food without even thinking about the extra calories you will put on. Here's a wellness tip that also saves you money. When you aren't sure whether what you are feeling is true hunger or not, try drinking a glass of water first. Oftentimes, your body is just thirsty.

Stretching your creativity. What can you do with broken plates that are too beautiful to be thrown away? Make a garden tabletop that's not only pretty but also waterproof! This makes a great weekend project.

Stretching your body. Stretching is one of the best ways to relieve tension. First, learn how to breathe during a stretch. People often hold their breath when stretching. Wrong. Breathe in during the starting position and breathe out during the stretch. By breathing out, your body releases the tension and movement is more fluid, more relaxing.

Isn't it stretching is great? It lets you discover creative ways that meet life's challenges.
