I think it not only makes a person more productive. But it also makes the body feel good, which in turn helps the mind and spirit feel good. I will continue to practice every day and if I run into an obstacle in being able to take the time; I'm thinking of buying a treadmill. Your body feels much more alive and healthy with even the smallest amount of physical activity. This exercise allowed me to realize how out of shape my body was and needed exercise. I have also wanted to try yoga or meditation for a long time. Even if I don't have time to take a class, I do have time to download an app, which I've found you can do. I definitely plan to try to achieve this during the semester. I also like to travel to relieve stress. I feel that experiencing different scenery and nature increases my feeling of well-being. Taking a day trip camping and hiking in the forest is relaxing. In my opinion anything near water is also relaxing; only the sound of the water conveys a feeling of calm. Recreational activities such as fishing, boating or just sitting by the fire in the evening. I feel like all these things can relax the mind and reduce stress
