Are you looking for a great way to relax?
Do you have a hammock, porch swing, or rocking chair? Use them! According to the University of Rochester, that’s a proven way to relax… even if you’re totally stressed. It can also relieve aches and pains caused by tension. It goes back to when we were babies because being gently rocked releases calming brain chemicals that act like pain-relieving antidepressants. Rocking can even improve sleep by boosting production of brain-calming neurotransmitters which reduce anxious thinking, the same way anti-anxiety drugs help prime you for sleep.
