RELAX AND THINK.
A FACTOR IN GOOD HEALTHOf all the factors conducive tohealth, probably the most important is routine (writes the wel.-known dramatist and medical authority, Dr. Harold Dearden, in the London “Daily Mail”). Before going to bed, there is one exercise which, in this nerve-shatter-ing world of noise and bustle, is of such supreme value that I cannot too strongly urge you to adopt it. I re- - fer to the exercise of relaxation, ” which, from the point of view of the nervous system and your own con- -
tinued efficiency, is the most valuable exercise of all. There is nothing the least complicated or mysterious about it, for_ it ccnsists merely in lying on your back in a room by yourself and striving for a period of 10 minutes .c let yourself go limp. If at the same time you can force yourself to take a steady look at your life as a whole and bluff yourself that you like it, you will find when you open your eyes again that it is not merely bluffing, but true. This has nothing to do with Christian Science or any other New Thought. It is simply an exercise good for your nerves, just as golf is good for your muscles.
