My life is pretty good most of the time, but certain days, by the time the evening rolls around, I am tense with a captial T.  What do I do to decrease my stress levels?

1.  Take a nice, long hot bath with my bath and bodyworks products.  I love that company!  Complete with a glass of wine and candles along side the tub.  Ahhhh….please nobody bug me.

2.  I get into my car with nobody else, blast my favourite music as high as I can without hurting my ears, and go for a nice, long drive.

3.  I eat.  The saltier the better.  I always told my husband that food was the way to my heart, and when I am stress its the same.  When I am sad, or under a lot of stress, eating something tasty just seems to make me happier.

4.  I watch TV.  What better way to forget your worries?  I vegetate in front of the television and soak myself into my favourite shows.

5.  I go for a walk.  It seems to clear my mind of the various thoughts that are causing my stress in the first place.

6.  I vent to my husband.  My poor husband…having to listen to all of my stress.  Talking to someone is always a good way to relieve stress.  Often they will have something to say to help you decrease your stress.  They can give you a different perspective on things.

Whatever the cause of your stress, everyone has it at some point in their life.  Its important that you don’t let it get you down, and you channel your energy into something more productive. 

Take sometime for yourself, decrease the negative stress from your mind today!
