Mary was anxious. Mary suspected that as the only woman on the board her job was more at risk than most peoples. She was a director of her company and she was under a lot of stress because her firm was about to be taken over and there was a lot of rumor around that there would be redundancies. She had been been moody recently, having sleeplessness and headaches and her husband, Bob had pointed out to her that she should go and see her doctor and try to find a way to calm down. Mary knew she was givinbg him a hard time and didn’t mean to take it out on him but knew she did. Her mother had always said that you always hurt the one you love and here she was proving it.

She did go to see her doctor and was surpriused when he suggested yoga as the answer to her problems. “Isn’t that where you have to twist your limbs into funny positions and hum?”She asked seriously. The doc laughter.”It’s not like that anymore”, he said. It’s all about relaxation. I want you to get home from work and forget everything about it, get out your yoga mat, sit on it, close your eyes and think about nice things. Do not even think about work. Take yourself to a desert island or wherever you want to go and spend at least 30 minutes there initially, then gradually increase it to one hour. “Bob will understand” he added. He might even prepare dinner or take you out to eat. It’s extremly important that get some relaxation Mary or the result will be driving yourself to an early grave.

I took his advice. Bob and I went out the next day and I bought a yoga mat and I followed doc’s instructions. Now I look forward to getting home, rolling out my yoga mat, and entering into a world of my own relaxation.
