However. it takes I bit of doing not to - with our modern stepped-up tempo of living. it": not so much the fast pace as the feeling of pres- sure that increases tension. Re- laxing is the solution, but it's not easy to "just relax.” it takes practice.

High powered career women particularly need to learn how to relax. Experts point out that perlectionism and excess effort invariably increase tension. Over- concern about final results is I form of anxiety which is askln to fear of failure. This splinter of worry held continually in minti keeps the muscles in a state of

tend to make I virtue of over- work. That attitude sooner or III- er brings us to the place of diminishing returns. To work re- laxed. we have to discard the notion that speed and efficiency go hand in hand. Studies have shown that haste often makes waste motion. Furthermore, the stepped-up pace is carried over Into activities where there is not the slightest need to hurry, such as It meal times and after the day's work is done.

of the day, you'll feel relaxed and rested. it's rewarding to learn the
