Goal for the Day: Keep Your Hands Busy

Do you ever find yourself fidgeting while you’re trying to relax?  Sometimes our minds need a break, but our bodies are ready to keep going.  Long before the days of television and video games, people relaxed by doing things—crafts, art, games.  When you settle down for the day, you can still sit in front of the TV, but why not do something with your hands?  Play a game of cards, color in a coloring book, take up that craft that you always enjoyed, but haven’t touched in years.  There are so many things that you can do with your hands while you’re resting that don’t take a lot of mental energy.  Using your body’s natural energy will help you rest better, too.  Our hands were made for a lot more than just fidgeting.
