Too much stress? Let's fix this.

Reduce your stress.
Take time to relax. Stress can raise your cholesterol levels and hypertension and lead to cardiac problems. Stress is also a prelude for mental illnesses like depressive disorder. See your doctor for help in handling stress.
    You know their suggestion would help their profits most likely, but there are many ways to deal with stress naturally.
  • Take the dog for a walk, basically show attention to your pet. Playing with, walking, or feeding your pet will take your mind off of what's stressing you. Quiet as it's kept, the energy from some animals help with healing.
  • Meditate- Meditation will help balance you spiritually and calm the nerves. If done right it will put you in a zen like state and clear the mind. You will be able to think better, with clarity, and solve your stress related problems.
  • Do something fun that you're passionate about like hiking, bike riding, exercising, etc... Something that put your body to work and the mind in a joyful state.
  • Avoid negative people and messages from T.V., radio, newspapers, etc...
  • Laugh,  even though it's no laughing matter. Laughter has many more benefits for your well being including being a stress buster. Look at some comedy, do something stupid but nothing harmful. It may backfire and increase your stress.
  • Sleep, a short nap recharges the mind and body.
  • Deep breathing- Inhaling through the nose and expanding your chest as well as the stomach. Exhale through the mouth. It's best to do slow repetitions in and out while putting in your mind that you are inhaling positive energy and exhaling the negative. In fact, this is true. ( Inhaling through the nose provides cleaner air, that's what the hair in your nose is for, to clean the garbage from the air you breathe in.)
These are just a few remedies, be creative and do whatever is necessary to get yourself realigned with nature.
