So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How to Fight Stress

By Ruth Smith


Stress is a necessary evil. Although no one wants to have them around, it is an important reminder for us to slow down and get some needed rest and sleep. But sometimes, they can hang around for longer times than usual. When they do, experts recommend people to face the problem head on as soon as possible. So if you need a little hand, here are a few simple tips on how you can manage and fight stress on your own.

Get to the root of the problem

This can be easier said than done. However, zoning in on the things that trigger all the anxiety is a must if you want to get rid of it. So take time to sit down and think things through. Do you need to take a few responsibilities off your back or do you simply need some time management lessons? Once you do zoom in on that problem, try to stay away from it the best way you can.

Start Eating Healthy

Your state of health can affect the way you deal with stress as well. So if you want to keep away from stress, eat right and eat healthy. Never make the mistake of skipping meals for any reason as hunger can trigger anxiety feelings as well. Eating a proper breakfast can fuel your body for the day's activities, help you concentrate more and start your day right.

Get Enough Rest

Sleep is one of the best solutions to fight off stress. So invest in good and comfortable double beds to give you enough space for sleep. Double beds should be covered with comfortable and soft linens as well. Get proper room lighting and ample storage spaces to keep your room clean, organized and conducive to sleeping. Set up a sleeping schedule and stick to it the best way you can.

Get Rid of Vices

Smoking and drinking will not only affect your physical health but your mental and emotional well-being as well. Although quitting on these habits can initially be very stressful, it will eventually pay off in no time. As your physical well-being improves, so will your ability to manage and fight off stress.

Exercise

Exercise generally helps improve your stamina and your ability to manage and fight off stress. So get out of your beds and start exercising. Simple stretches and movements can easily take off that strain from doing repetitive activities the whole day.

Do relaxation techniques

Aside from lying in bed the whole time, you can also do some relaxation techniques to get some good quality rest. You can start meditating or make use or aroma therapy to calm and soothe your spirits. Start listening to soothing music while on the road or in your bed. Get involved in a hobby that will take your mind off from work even in just a few hours.

So you see, stress management is not all about sleep per se but it's about taking that turn to a healthier lifestyle. So invest in comfortable sleep, get yourself a hobby and quit smoking. These may seem like drastic changes, but they are definitely for the better.
