“A relaxation technique ... something I have done for years.”

Each day, sometimes more than once a day, close your eyes and imagine holding a bunch of colored balloons on strings.

Next, put a word on each balloon such as happy, sad, a person's name, a concern or prayer or anything you would want the balloon to express.

Then, when you are ready, let go of the strings so all of the balloons will float away slowly, at the same time and with different velocities.

It is very relaxing to watch all of the different colored balloons in your mind, float away into the sky until they are out of sight.

Anything that you have written on these balloons has also faded out of sight.

Will you remember this relaxation technique the next time you feel stressful?

**1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
