Lately, I am so stressed out due to many things in my life. Mainly my family and my job. I need to find ways to remove myself from the stress, because it is now interfering with my sleep, and my health. I am feeling run down. What do you ladies do for yourself to remove stress?
I am thinking I need to block out some time just for me, but I dont know what to do?

Re: How do you relieve stress?
I know different things work for different people, but I will give you an idea of what works for me.
When I take time for myself to relax I like to do the following: spa treatments, read a good book, go for a walk, chill and watch a good movie, taking a nap, planning a fun day for yourself (like a day trip somewhere).

A full body massage will not only relax you mentally, but physically as well, which will in turn relax you mentally. It's like an endless circle of relaxation.
Get thee a massage. At a nice spa. Immediately.

I'm a big fan of naps. Short naps, no longer than one hour, in the afternoon. Unless you've got a particularly lenient boss, you may want to save these for weekends!

One other thing: if you're feeling run down, you might want to assess your diet and make sure you're getting enough protein and iron! Maybe vitamins would help...
Hope you feel better soon!

LOL you girls are so funny!
I have started new vitamins and exercise this past week, because the stress was really taking a toll on me.
I just got back from getting the nails done, it did help.
DH is also making me a nice dinner tonight and we are going to rent some movies. I am trying really hard to relax.
