Walking her is a great pick-me-up, and I haven't been doing that enough. I've been settling for the ball chucker, which makes her happy, but it doesn't do much for me. But for the cold it's a lovely day--must walk!Kathleen Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561028604927993773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-42729241485532009212010-12-07T12:03:35.513-06:002010-12-07T12:03:35.513-06:00I've been repeatedly told that there is someth...I've been repeatedly told that there is something about purring cats that immediately brings down people's heartrates.

Or if that's not available a glass of wine. (A single glass, not the whole bottle. Either alone with some relaxing music or a tub full of hot water and bubbles, or with friends and laughter. Or if you want to drink your wine in the bath with friends--that's fine too.)<br /><br />The not being reactive one resonated with me. I am constantly allowing myself to be emotionally hijacked by others.

I also agree that clutter causes stress, and making lists reduces it! <br /><br />Curling up with a romantic comedy is one that never fails me. Time alone to decompress. I'll add gardening, decorating, and of course, chocolate :).Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-63176776781761112732010-12-07T08:23:16.277-06:002010-12-07T08:23:16.277-06:00Turning your head to the right?
