Soothing Stress.
Stress. Life. They go hand in hand.
Unfortunately, stress can not only wreck havoc on our day to day activities, but stress is detrimental to our health.
Short-term (acute) stress can keep you awake at night and make you feel irritable and edgy. High stress levels over a long period of time (chronic stress) can cause serious health problems such as high blood pressure, and it can weaken your immune system and make it difficult for your body to fight disease. Stress is linked to health conditions such as depression and heart disease. via Healthwise.org
In my ongoing effort to find the perfect stress relieving techniques, I realize that I have different methods for different situations. I recently asked a few friends what they do to relieve stress, and my answers included everything from simply lighting a candle, to taking a nap, and even one friend admits to going on shopping sprees when she feels most stressed.
What de-stresses you?

Teri, did you get much response on your teen parenting blog? I write on with a friend for our local newspaper. Did you find any other parenting blogs about teens and why did you choose to drop that one?
Totally agree with your comments about stress!!

I have tried zillions of ways to soothe stress and the one that works the best for me is to simply talk it out. Having someone else’s point of view tends to brind me back down. I have this tendency to blow things out of proportion… big time!
