Thursday, November 16, 2006 I have picked up a new hobby over the last couple months. I have been researching stress reduction and relaxation. In the past, a hot bubble bath was all I needed to relax~ but these days it takes more than that. A technique that I do enjoy is a combination of visualized breathing and progressive muscle relaxation. Even though I didn't always know the proper terms for the procedures, my Ex-Owner and ex-sub-brother taught me how to do them. It used to be part of a pre and post scene routines that I followed. It helped clear my mind and help me get into the head space She needed me to be in. I never thought that four years later I would be resurrecting those lessons to help me cope with my daily life. I learned a lot of things growing up that helped me when I began exploring the structured lessons of a power exchange relationship. I was brought up to respect authority, follow the rules, be proactive instead of reactive, and to put the other person first. Yes, I was brought up to be a Baptist housewife. haha It's not that my parent's didn't hope I would be a productive working member of society but just in case I choose to be a Baptist housewife they didn't want me to embarrass them by my lack of hostessing ability. They looked over the fact that I hate to cook and tend not to cook very well because I'm so easily distracted. But when it comes to having people over and putting on a pretty display and making others feel comfortable, I'm your gal. Imagine my surprise that those skills not only came in handy in the 'lifestyle' but made me pretty popular with the others in our community. It was pretty cool, because all I had to do was be myself and demonstrate how I was brought up and I was an instant success! :) So now I am going back to those visualizing techniques to find my balance, my center, and re-learn how to relax :) Wish me luck!
