Mind- all powerful but it sometimes needs a break

As I was reading the article
The Mind-Body Wellness Connection The point it makes is very good "people turn to mind-body techniques, such as meditation or prayer, to help relieve stress. Stress is known to both cause and contribute to certain conditions and often precedes serious illness. And in turn, serious illness can cause depression which leads to other illness and on goes the cycle.

One technique that is useful in making you aware of your thoughts, so you can influence positive changes in your mood and health, is called mindfulness.

Sit in a quiet room and focusing on your breathing, just your breathing and nothing else. Try working on one task at a time, not five. Just do one thing until it’s done. "

Another thing that I realized is that our mind needs a break from stress that we put on it. Mindfulness is a way to relax your mind. That's harder then it sounds, but very good to do.
