relax fears away
HEN I said yester-
day that you would do well to relax, did you wonder exactly what that meant? This is what I had in mind.
Nerves keep you strung up--you sit up tense, you lie down atif as a poker, your arms and legs are rigid. This, of course, is the result, not the cause, of nerves.
But there is no reason why you shouldn't neutralise any bad triekts
which your nerves have goi you inle. And once you have learned, how to relax efficiently, and make
leisure.
