Come with me to the sea... relaxation

Come with me to the sea... cool water, the blue sky, wet stones, green every where, roses and cats -

This was my relaxation today - all my new pictures - in a few minutes :-)

Mini-relaxations/Harvard Medical School
Mini-relaxations can help allay fear and reduce pain while you sit in the dentist’s chair or lie on an examining table. They’re equally helpful in thwarting stress before an important meeting, while stuck in traffic, or when faced with people or situations that annoy you. Here are a few quick relaxation techniques to try.

 

 

 

When you’ve got 1 minute: Place your hand just beneath your navel so you can feel the gentle rise and fall of your belly as you breathe. Breathe in slowly. Pause for a count of three. Breathe out. Pause for a count of three. Continue to breathe deeply for one minute, pausing for a count of three after each inhalation and exhalation.
Or alternatively, while sitting comfortably, take a few slow deep breaths and quietly repeat to yourself “I am” as you breathe in and “at peace” as you breathe out. Repeat slowly two or three times. Then feel your entire body relax into the support of the chair.
When you’ve got 2 minutes: Count down slowly from 10 to zero. With each number, take one complete breath, inhaling and exhaling. For example, breathe in deeply saying “10” to yourself. Breathe out slowly. On your next breath, say “nine,” and so on. If you feel lightheaded, count down more slowly to space your breaths further apart. When you reach zero, you should feel more relaxed. If not, go through the exercise again.
When you’ve got 3 minutes: While sitting down, take a break from whatever you’re doing and check your body for tension. Relax your facial muscles and allow your jaw to fall open slightly. Let your shoulders drop. Let your arms fall to your sides. Allow your hands to loosen so that there are spaces between your fingers. Uncross your legs or ankles. Feel your thighs sink into your chair, letting your legs fall comfortably apart. Feel your shins and calves become heavier and your feet grow roots into the floor. Now breathe in slowly and breathe out slowly. Each time you breathe out, try to relax even more.

Oatmeal and Orange cookies

Now It's very cold here, in Israel but the morning was warm, without any cloud in the sky, No rain in Israel for a month or more.. we're hoping a real winter will come in a day or 2; Israel needs some water..
Walking in the sun makes me feel very good , not in the summer of course.. so here you can see part of me ( my shadow.. ) in the sun..wait we're going to bake some new cookies in a minute or 2..





















I was walking,and walking , the sun was so good; Suddenly,near a big garbage can.. she was lieing there.. looking for some food or just enjoying the sun like me.. here is she :You have to enlarge her photo : a white cat with green eyes.. she was watching me ...

The evening comes here very early, in this time of the year..at 5:00 afternoon It's dark outside.. and cold; you can wear another sweater, drink another cup of Tea.. hot , with honey or brown sugar (no milk - thank you); and you can bake something, you'll become warmer in few minutes, yes It's true. So, I took my very old notebook ,here :

















I was looking for a new recipe , maybe for any cookies , without too much eggs (4 eggs were left in the fridge) .. I was reading recipes ,most of them were old and my favorite; here is the Hebrew recipe for the cookies I've baked today: Oatmeal and Orange cookies ;
