thank you

I must admit I do the dancing to music one - when no one else is around of course. And the self-massaging and stretching really works, too. I kind of started doing these two things without really thinking about it and didn't realise it would be theraputic but I guess you're right - they do help destress.  Walkig is also very good - I try to walk any bus routes I need to take whenever possible. Laughter isn't always easy if you're feeling very bad but if you can find something amusing then it can work wonders.

Hi there! I am a nutritionist and think these are all wonderful pieces of advice. I have been writing for a healthcare company, and encourage patients to LAUGH! Laughter is definitely one of the best medicines.  I have read somewhere that children laugh something like 400x a day.  No wonder they do not seem to have a care in the world.  It is so important to deal with stress, as stress leads to tension and acid build up in the precious human tissue.  

The company I write for is MyMedSchedule.com.  If one is stressed about taking care of their aging parents, a sick child, or overwhelmed by their own medication and supplement regimen, I have found www.MyMedSchedule.com to be a very easy, and free way to manage medication regimens.  It allows the user to select visual medication, and print their very own medication schedules. It is pretty cool, and more people need to be aware of it.  It is stress free!  and free!  I like free!

P.S.  I suffered from depression before learning to treat myself with nutrition.  I understand how lonely it can be.
