I used to stress ALL of the time, but moving to a country where I had so little control over things made me have to chill out.

I think I'm getting better these days. Tea definitely helps and lately I've been looking into seasonal tea guides http://vanishaslife.blogspot.co.nz/2014/03/a-guide-to-teas-seasons-and-ayurveda-with-tea-coup.html to help decide which teas to drink. And I've almost set time aside for soaking in the tub, even if it's only for 30 minutes. It makes a huge difference, it's perfect right before bed - but yes, deep breaths also really help ;)A Life Un-Styledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08558475767119850748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976575256558816155.post-44211047173902140962014-04-25T16:55:21.736-04:002014-04-25T16:55:21.736-04:00Sending you a very big, long, loving hug!

To me it sounds like you are very much like her from everything you told us about her.<br />I love taking pics and editing them to relax, or to read blogs :) And reading book. And most of all getting outside, taking a long walk through the forest or biking through the fields will always help.<br />Animal testing needs to stop. NOW!<br />Love the jewelry and that pic is so cool :)<br />I hope you'll have a wonderful weekend!<br />Ich drücke Dich ganz, ganz feste und ich denk an Dich, liebste Katrin <3Beatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712395242968990000noreply@blogger.com
