stress?me?..ney

the new technology should help us (especially women) to coop with life in easier way. My understanding is that technology should make my life easier and less stresses..is it? not really.

However, nowadays huge percentage of women (especially moms)  complain that they are stressed, or may be over stressed...

These are some steps that help me to  de-stress (very effective):


  1. drink water...more water, and water with a lemon.
  2. walk..at least half an hour a day..i know, no time, but i feel good when i give myself this daily present.
  3. switch to green tea, while limit my coffee to a one cup in the morning.
  4. eat more fruits and vegetables...
  5. eat yogurt. a plain yogurt is ideal, but the fruity one is not bad too.
  6. have a warm path. This is a real treat for the body and soul, even for 10 minutes only.
  7. breath...deeply. close your eyes, focus on the third eye and inhale slowly (for 10-15 seconds), hold it for another 10 seconds, then exhale slowly within 10 seconds. Repeat three to five time in one session, at least once a day. It does magic.
  8. and I take vitamin B complex. it is better if it is mixed with vitamin C.
  9. hoppy....search deep what you really like, you might be surprised. i never ever thought that i can do or like to do crochet, but it is my de-stress tool...
