Nature has equipped all of us with the ability to be both active and at rest, to be both tense and relaxed. Two important principles in stress management and quality of life are called the the principle of rhythm and the the principle of balance . According to these, our health and quality of life is largely dependent on there being a rhythm or balance between being tense and being relaxed. We must therefore try to avoid the extremes, that is, neither too much nor too little of either activity or rest.
