Battle stress!

One of the best ways I've learned to deal with stress is to set aside time for physical activity- I've found nothing clears the mind like a good jog.  Not only do you get to zone out, release any frustrations and listen to your favorite songs, you also get the extra health benefits! First off, you get that rush of endorphins which produce natural "feel good" chemicals in the body. Secondly, exercising helps one maintain a healthly weight, and being that I am a girl, I know how stressful a few extra pounds can be. And lastly, exercise improves your cardiovascular  strenght, which is always good. Now I know running isn't for anyone, but there are some many options out there: swimming, hiking, walking the dogs, playing some basketball or tennis,etc.  You can even enlist a friends help by having them exercise with you to keep from getting bored! So I suggest you try it soon:)
