5 easy relaxation techniques
to reduce stress at home
(BPT) - Moms have
to-do lists that are never
done. From getting the
kids to school, prepping
family meals and every
thing in between, it’s
a 24/7 job and can be
hard to find a moment to
stop and take a breath of
fresh air. While the home
should be a sanctuary
to relax and de-stress,
the reality is that a lot of
life’s biggest activities
happen there. The good
news is that it only takes
a few minutes to ground
yourself through med
itation. In fact, recent
studies by the Nation
al Institutes of Health
indicate that meditation
can improve relaxation,
lower blood pressure and
reduce anxiety. Learning
a few easy meditation
techniques will give
you the ability to power
through even the toughest
days.
To give back to busy
moms, Air Wick has
provided five easy ways
you can take a moment to
de-stress before tackling
your to-do list.

Waterfowl Hunters: Early Teal And
Goose Seasons Begins In September
Special to the Ledger
Early teal season and
early Canada goose
hunting seasons are the
first opportunity of the
year for waterfowl hunt
ers to get out in the field,
according to the Georgia
Department of Natural
Resources’ Wildlife
Resources Division.
This year, early Canada
goose season is Sept.
7-29, with a daily limit
of 5 geese, and early teal
season is Sept. 14-29,
2019, with a daily limit
of 6 teal.
Where do you go
to hunt teal or geese?
People can hunt at any
of the Georgia Wildlife
Management Areas
(WMA) that are open
for small game hunting
during the statewide
teal and goose seasons,
or even at beaver ponds
and other natural wet
lands (ensure you have
permission to hunt any
private property). Lakes
and reservoirs such as
Juliette, Clarks Hill,
West Point, and Semi
nole offer great hunting
opportunities for both
teal and geese.
“Look for teal in
shallow water areas with
submerged or emer
gent vegetation for teal
to feed on,” said State
Waterfowl Biologist
Greg Balkcom. “Look
for geese in open water
areas near pastures or
other grassy openings
along the bank. Geese
are grazers, and they
prefer to fly into an area,
land on the water then
walk up the bank to feed
on nearby grasses.”
Waterfowl hunters
need a hunting license,
the Georgia migratory
bird stamp and the fed
eral duck stamp. Licens
es may be purchased at

gia.com.
