11 ways to Relieve Stress

In our lives today, we often find ourselves so busy compelling care of the home, the children, our businesses, our social life, our children’s social life, our bills and just life in general that we often not remember to take care of ourselves.
With us wearing so many hats in life, we often find ourselves stressed and worn out.  But there are remedies for this.  For me personally, I find that by making myself indulge in at nominal amount one of the following during my week, I am much more pleased and a lot less stressed.  I find myself enjoying this “My Time” but I also sometimes try to get my family involved so that we all can lead a more stress free life.

1.) Try to live Austerely
2.) Take a nice long scenic walk, I don’t know the beach or the lake.  (Even invite a friend)
3.) Place on your favorite music, turn it up loud and dance
4.) Light up your thrilling simmering (perfume) pot with a softly scented perfume.  This allows your senses to relax, thus allowing you to relax.  Then curl up on the sofa with a excellent book
5.) Sink into your tub for a long, lush soak at the end of the day.  Light a few nicely scented candles, turn off the illumination and let the glow and scent of the candle relax your mind, body and soul.
6.) Go on a bender just a modest and go in for a professional massage at your local day spa
7.) Go have a manicure and pedicure done.  (And I truly suggest the Spa Pedicure – ohh la la!)
8.) How about your favorite movie?  You know the one that just made you laugh, weep and smile.
9.) Another fantastic thought is your local Coffee Stop.  This is especially nice if it has a book store inside.  Grab a cup of coffee or cappuccino and a magazine and just relax with the latest Hollywood gossip or a wonderful romance book
10.)  Got a best or very dear friend you place of protection’t talked to in awhile?  Pick up the phone and call her and reconnect.
