I swim sometimes to drown out the noise. I heard reference to the amazing qualities of swimming in the movie Meet Bill. I recommend it if you haven't seen it. It's a lot like American Beauty, another one of my favorites. Swimming though, is powerful. Much like anything else you can find do give your mind peace and get away from it all, it calms one's soul.
I've always wanted to get regular massages, but I don't live a charmed life. I had never even gone to get a massage until a couple months ago. I would say that the number one perk of living in a Chinese city is the ability to walk down the street and get a high quality $2 massage whenever you like. I'm not kidding.
I believe that if a person wants to be able to really understand other peoples opinions, and where their views come from that they must travel to other countries to see different cultures. Going to Canada and Mexico is great, but their is so much else out their, and so much to see that you should hop on a plane and go somewhere.
Have you ever had one of those days when you seem to be so stressed out??
