I think I was about 18 or 19 when I was stressing about my life. My GP, short for grandpop, asked me what's the matter. I told him I got college exam issues, girl friend problems and my best friend JD (my dog) died. He told me to sit in the living room and take off my shoes and socks and close my eyes. So with a little chuckle in my voice I said, "Ok". About 2 minutes later, he puts these warm sweat socks on my feet and he said, "Now just breathe." Oh my God. I could not believe what was going on. I immediately stopped stressing. Maybe because I was tripping on how relaxing these warm sweat socks were. I'm telling you, there is some real therapy involved in putting on warm sweat socks.
I still do it today. When I want to let my mind go on a mini vacation, I pull out a pair of sweat socks (the newer the better) from my drawer. Throw them into the dryer or oven, yes oven, for a quick minute, lay down on my couch, put on those nice, clean, soft, comfortable, understanding foot sleeves, I close my eyes and just breathe.
Try it. Y'NEVANO, it may even help you fall asleep.
