Ten easy ways to unstress your life

Ten easy ways to de-stress your life

1. Take a long walk under the full moon.

You would be surprised as to the calming effect the full moon has had on Earths denizens since the beginning of recorded history. A subject of much mystery and folklore, the moon is also known for having a tranquil effect on those that ponder under, and meditate on it. Sit outside on some calm summers night with the sound of crickets filling in the background just once and you'll be hooked. Walk under it after a hard days work and you'll come away feeling relaxed and refreshed.

2. Take a long drive out in the country or mountains.

Another great way to de stress and come up with new ideas for your life. Many answers that we seek to our daily confusion come to us when we least expect them to. Personally I have found that walking under the moonlight or driving the mountains and country roads where I live offers an insight into my life that may have taken months to come full circe.

3. Meditate.As little as 15 minutes a day has produced remarkable results in my life. Not only am I calmer but I can focus and learn much easier.

4. Sex. If I had to explain this then you wouldn't understand.

5. Jog. I rarely missed more than two days at a time since I began jogging in 1977. I am the same weight now as I was in 1988 6'00 @ 200 Lbs. All thanks to exercise. When I get off of work after a particularly stressful day and am exhausted, I always find that once I get on the treadmill the fatigue goes away. There is a difference between physical exhaustion and mental exhaustion.

6. Visit friends. Even monkeys, when isolated for long periods of time exhibit signs of mental retardation. Get off the kindle and get with your friends.

7. Call someone that you haven't spoken to in years. Nostalgia is food for the soul.

8.Listen to classical music. I grew up on Mowtown, and the Rolling Stones but there comes a time when nothing even comes close to classical music for relaxation and stress reduction. I never listen to anything but classical before noon and after 8 pm.

9. Read a good book. Better yet join a book club. Whether reading with the family or alone it doesn't really matter. Nothing smacks of personal growth than reading and I read a new book every month. My favorite subjects are personal finance and self-help.

10. Set 20 minutes aside a day and do absolutely nothing. This ties perfectly into the meditation period that I recommended earlier. The results are short of spectacular,
