I think it's fixed!

Well, keep your fingers crossed - I've been having computer problems for several days; luckily I know an expert, so hopefully we can continue. Anyway, this is the perfect lead in to what I was going to talk about today: STRESS! Computer problems and traffic are pretty much the worse kind, because you can't do anything about either one of them - or at least I can't! As I was waiting on my computer to be fixed, I happened to read an article from Men's Health on 31 ways to control stress - I got through six of them while he fixed my computer, which shows either how minor my problem was, or how little I know about computers - or both...but here are the first six: 1) take extra Vitamin C - it's stops the secretion of stress hormones; 2) take a deep breath - put a reminder somewhere that you'll see it often (phone, steering wheel, bathroom) and breathe deeply, then let it out slowly; 3) get a dog - maybe not the kind I have - he's a little jumpy (not the fat one I usually talk about, but the other one) - they love to walk, they're always happy to see you, and they like whatever you fix them for dinner; 4) drink coffee with your friends - be more social without spending too much money; 5) shake out your hands, which forces you to relax your upper body; and 6) listen to boring music - it will really lower your stress level. More tomorrow - don't you feel better already?? Have a good week - Melissa
