An easily managed life.

To relax. I practice biofeedback. Mental and physical tricks. That put me at ease. I don’t like to be distraught or upset for any prolonged time. After all, it can raise one’s blood pressure. Sky high. But I know how to deal with it. By taking charge. By soothing myself. By sitting down. In an easy chair. Placing my hands on my thighs. And slowly rocking back and forth. While massaging my thighs.  Rhythmically.  Yes, biofeedback at its best. Also  known as mind over matter.  In less than two minutes. My blood pressure dropped dramatically. From 175/92 to 108/74. Of course, it’s my fault. For allowing my blood pressure to soar in the first place. But then, that’s life. Full of ups and downs. But easily managed. --Jim Broede
