Stress

When I have a bad day, Frank and Beans are there to fill me with their "Puppy Love" when I get home.  Instantly my day just got better.  Some days takes more work to destress.
Although we shouldn't bring our jobs home, some days are just to much to handle.  But stewing about what happened over and over won't relieve the tension built up inside your body.  It'll cause a sleepless night and another bad day tomorrow.
Vent!  Either to your spouse or your pet.  Your pet will make the better listener.  They won't judge you, they won't tell you what you should have done.  They will love the attention and show you love in return.
Give yourself a "pep talk".

• I am a good person.
• I am worthy.
• I am loved.

Hug yourself.  Fold your arms and grab the opposite shoulders.  Squeeze!  Tight!  This will also help relieve the tension that has built up.  Next, stretch your neck.  Bring your chin to your chest.  Put a hand on the back of your head and stretch a little more.  Tilt your head to the right.  Try to touch your ear to your shoulder.  Again use your hand for extra stretch.  Repeat on the opposite side.  Next clasp your hands behind your back and raise your arms.  This will cause a good stretch in your chest.  You just stretched your muscles that retain tension.  Feel better?
After a healthy meal, take Fido for a walk.  Exercise always helps your mood.  Go to bed early.  You deserve it.
Wake up with a positive attitude  Think about what you are "thankful" for.  Give yourself another pep talk.  Now you will leave the security of your home with a smile on your face.  And you deserve it!
