An activity to cope with stress, for you and your family

"We say things like “I don’t have time for that,” or “I’m running out of time,” or “I never have the time to do what’s most important to me,” or “I never have time for me.” These beliefs about the scarcity of time can stimulate feelings of anxiousness, worry, and powerlessness. They also contribute to stress reactions in our body—perhaps a tightened gut, tensed shoulders, rapid heart rate, or clenched jaw. If you recognize this behavior and want less stress and more power with your world, here’s an exercise to try." - Nonviolent Communication, Sura Hart and Victoria Kindle Hodson
