You can energize your body and mind with a morning stretch especially if you are among people who need a little help to get going in the morning, a quick morning stretch can quickly energize your body and mind here's how. Get out of the sleeping position slowly, lie on your back and let your body realign itself and then from your feet up, contract each muscle, stretch your arms above your head and put your toes up. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds,remembering to breath gently and evenly. Repeat 3 times and see the difference it makes.

It has also been proven scientifically that meditation for 30 minutes everyday, brings changes in the density of the grey matter which is linked to memory, sense of self, depression and stress. This happens because as the size of the hypocampus which is the grey matter linked to the learning and memory increases then the size of the amygdala,the grey matter linked with anxiety and stress is decreased! So next time close your world out and commune with silence.
