This Labor Day, Let Saturn Help You Relax!
For the last 130 years, Labor Day has been celebrated as a day of rest -- in theory, anyway. However, if you plan to use this coming Labor Day to catch up on projects, you're one of the millions proving the point that, now more than ever, we need to learn how to relax!
Feeling tense all the time is like driving a car with no shock absorbers. Every little bump on the road jostles you, while major potholes can be downright painful. Eventually, chronic tension can lead to weight gain, a breakdown of your immune system, and the likelihood of contracting any of the most common ailments -- heart disease, diabetes, cancer -- that plague modern society. Relaxing will not just increase your quality of life, but also your quantity of it!
In astrology, labor and work are associated with the planet Saturn. Saturn is like a personal trainer. In the right measure, it brings the kind of discipline, concentration, and dedication that inspire achievement and excellence. When Saturn is out of balance, however, the result is chronic tension, anxiety, and depression.

Fortunately, you can learn to work with the universe's cosmic personal trainer and break any potential tension cycles. Greater relaxation requires only three simple habits -- none of which cost a penny!
Walk
Regular exercise will improve your life more than anything else. It doesn't have to be a fanatical cardio workout at the gym -- although there's certainly nothing wrong with that! -- but you do have to move. As a species, human beings evolved to walk, not sit in front of a screen, so get yourself a pair of walking shoes and carve out 20 minutes every day to walk somewhere. Doing so will reduce stress, elevate your mood-enhancing hormones, increase your metabolism, help you lose weight, and reduce your risk of illness. And who knows what interesting things or people you'll stumble upon along the way!

Breathe
If someone offered you the secret to instant relaxation, wouldn't you want to know? Luckily, you've been doing it all your life: breathing. While you read this, take one good deep breath in, then let it out, releasing tension along with it. Feel good? This doesn't require any special equipment or extra time. You just need to pay attention to something you already do around 28,000 times daily! Conscious breathing is something you can easily do while sitting in a meeting, waiting at a stoplight, or washing the dishes. So ... just breathe.
Laugh
Seriously! The health benefits of laughter have long been trumpeted by the old adage, "Laughter is the best medicine," but these days it's actually being medically proven -- a simple Web search for "healthy laughter" returns results from highly credible sources such as the Mayo Clinic. Studies show that healthy children laugh 400 times a day, while the average adult only chuckles 15 times; that fact alone is laughable. There's enough absurdity around you to fuel a lifetime of giggles, so open your eyes, look around, and simply smile.
This Labor Day, take the day off completely -- and let Saturn help guide you toward better health!
