Maybe a few yoga moves like Child's Pose to calm or a Tree-standing balance position to center myself. I might also go on a good run or take an hour to treat myself and get my nails done. |

| Posted over 5 years ago I got so stressed few months back. It was really overwhelming and mentally exhausting. Couldn't sleep for nights. Took tylenol PM but doesn't work for me. Kind of frustrating sometimes, couldn't think of relaxation techniques or stress relief methods. No one to talk to sometimes, the heavier the stress will be, couldn't express it out. |
