Dealing with Stress in Day to Day Life
With today’s economy, job market, financial pressures, you are likely to be under some degree of stress. The best ways to manage it are to change its source and/or to change your reaction to it.
Be aware of what is stressing you.
Know the events and circumstance that you find stressful, and know how you react. Does your head ache, for example, or do you feel nauseous? If you can spot signs of stress you do something about it.
Work on what you can change.
You probably can’t eliminate stress from your life, but you can change your day to day life to decrees stress. Can you leave the premises when things stress you? Or could you learn a new skill that will alleviate some of your stress such as time management, better communication or negotiation skills?
Get the stress into perspective.
It’s tempting to over exaggerate stress, let it eat at you making it bigger then when it started, but try to control your reactions. A mistake is not a disaster. See it as something you can cope with and see the positive even if it is difficult too. Do not be paralyzed by “what ifs”. Negative thoughts won’t help the situation.
Build your physical reserve.
A healthy body will go a long way to combating stress. Eat well; maintain a healthy body weight right for your bodies’ height; avoid excess caffeine, nicotine and alcohol; and take regular aerobic exercise. Walking, cycling, swimming are great choices of exercise. Establish good sleeping habits and schedule vacation time.
Build emotional reserve.
Set your own attainable goals, rather than have them set for you. Develop a supportive network of family and friends that treat you well.
3 Tips When Buying an Environmentally Friendly Mattress
Each day, the body is exposed to a lot of mental and physical stress. At night, it’s important for you to be comfortable in the bed that you’re sleeping in to promote the body’s renewal, growth and recovery. A good night’s sleep will definitely encourage healing and revitalization. For these reasons, you should not be hasty in picking out a mattress. Your decision should be based on your needs and preferences, and not on price or popularity.
There are so many different kinds of mattresses around, including coil or innerspring, air and foam. But you should be careful when selecting mattresses for you and your family because many items contain toxic substances. PBDEs or polybrominated diphenyl ethers are commonly used to treat mattresses so that these become more fire resistant. Then, there are also others that contain carcinogenic elements. Because of people’s awareness regarding such dangers, more are opting for organic or environmentally friendly types as these are safer and with fewer detrimental impacts on the world.
1. Consider What Is Inside a Mattress
Going organic is a good idea because this will ensure that you won’t be spending the night sleeping on a mattress that’s full of toxic elements. You can readily inhale these elements as you sleep, which leaves you vulnerable to the harmful substances that are on or inside a mattress.
If you go for an all natural latex mattress, you’re being eco-friendly because latex, in this case, is made from the sap or juice of the rubber tree. The sap is harvested without cutting or harming rubber trees, and this further means that sources are sustainable. Sustainability is a huge issue because if there are sustainable resources, this means that such sources can be used over and over again without severely harming the environment and without overly depleting natural resources. Organic mattresses can also be made from foam, as well as cotton and wool. There are also hemp mattresses, which are actually pretty firm and durable. Hemp naturally prevents mold formation as well. Another option, which is very suitable for people with allergies, is a mattress made from bamboo.
In addition to sustainability, you should also ask around or get information about what sort of treatments have been used on mattresses to avoid getting an item that would harm your health.
2. Opt for Recycled Steel
There are also eco-friendly innerspring mattresses. Also known as coil mattresses, innerspring mattresses provide great support and comfort. If you want to go green, choose mattresses with inner coils made from recycled steel. Used steel is as good as new steel because this material does not deteriorate quickly.
3. Check the Bed Frame or Base
Sometimes, you may also be buying a bed frame together with a mattress. If this is the case, inquire about the materials used on the frame. Ask if metal frames are made from recycled metal or steel. In case of wood frames, make sure that wood comes from sustainable sources and that this was harvested following environmental regulations.

Yoga an Effective Treatment Depression and Anxiety Disorder
Aerobic exercise daily is a reliable and effective treatment for mild to moderate depression, and anxiety disorder. Research suggests that yoga may work even better than other exercise.
A study from Boston University School of Medicine and published by Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that yoga increased levels of gamma-aminobutyric know as GABA in the brain. Low levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter correlates with depression and anxiety disorders. Investigators followed two randomized groups of healthy volunteers for 12 weeks. Group one performed one hour of yoga three times a week, while the group two walked for one hour three times a week. Before and after the last session, the researchers compared the GABA levels of each of the volunteers in both groups, using magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging. The researchers found increased GABA levels and decreased anxiety among the participants in group one, the yoga group, who also reported a significantly greater reduction in anxiety and improved mood over the course of the study than did the volunteers in group two, the walking group
A Man’s Guide to Helping His Wife Through Pregnancy
Pregnant women experience morning sickness, hormonal changes and an ever-expanding abdomen to accommodate their developing child. Expectant fathers empathize with their wives, but often feel there is nothing they can do. Wrong! There are several ways a man can help the expectant mother through her pregnancy.
Pregnancy can make a woman tired, so pitch in and help out around the house. Do the laundry and vacuum without her asking you to. Your pregnant spouse will appreciate it, even if she doesn’t always show it. Keep in mind that her body is going through some major hormonal changes so she may be prone to mood swings during this time. Be patient and understanding if she is feeling a bit grumpy.
Accompany your wife to her doctor appointments if possible. This is an exciting time and you need to be present to understand your baby’s development and help your wife take care of her health. Besides, you definitely want to be present when your wife first gets to view the life that is growing inside her.
Surprise her with a night out. After all, once the baby comes there probably won’t be much time to go out, so take her to dinner and a movie. If she doesn’t feel like going out, prepare a nice dinner at home or order delivery. Rent a movie and cuddle up with her for a cozy evening. Give your expectant spouse a relaxing massage. Pregnant women often get backaches, so rub her back or give her a soothing foot massage.
Go shopping with your spouse and help her pick out furnishings and decorative accents for the nursery. Put the baby furniture together and get the room ready for your newborn’s arrival. Once you’ve pulled it all together, surprise your spouse with the finished room.
As the pregnancy progresses and your wife gains weight, she may begin to feel unattractive. Let her know that she is still beautiful and sexy. Tell her you love her often. Send her flowers to say you love her. Stop at the store on your way home from work and pick up her favorite snacks that she may be craving.
Take childbirth classes with her and prepare to be in the delivery room, holding her hand through the birth process. Gather your wife’s personal items and those needed for the baby and pack her bag so that it is ready for the hospital when the time arrives.
The most important thing you can do for your pregnant wife is just to be there. Listen to her, soothe her and be patient. Make sure she knows how much you love her and your unborn child. Call and check on her often when you can’t be home. If you are at work, have a friend or relative drop by occasionally. Support your pregnant spouse by being there for her every step of the way. She may not always tell you how much you mean to her, but you can rest assured that she appreciates the little things you do.
