what to do if ur mad or stressed??

[Guest guest]

Egroups,

If you are mad or stressed, what things

help relieve you? In the past, when I'm mad, stressed

or whatever, I'd take a hot bath or exercise. But now

that I have rosacea, I can't do those things anymore

because they make my face really red. I remembered

that previously, some of you suggested to me to listen

music. I forgot to mention to you guys that I'm deaf.

I was born deaf. What other things help relieve your

stress or anger besides listening to music?? I can't

do yoga because it is related with music. I'd glad to

hear your suggestions! Thanks.

Amber

Actually, I've tried yoga before, and there was no music involved.

Unfortunately, though, there is a lot of bending over and hanging

your head upside-down, which causes me to flush. I've also tried

meditation and that helps me relax. Have you considered

aromatherapy? There is a strong link between smell and emotions.

Amber there are a lot of things you can do to relieve your stress. A walk,

good book, funny movie, good company. Candles are always a good thing. You

dont have to take a hot bath but a nice relaxing bath with some nice smelling

bath oil or bubbles is nice. Hope this helps.

amber-

can't you still feel the beat of the calming music? i have a couple friends

that are deaf and they go out dancing, etc... they say that they can feel

the beat of the music even though they don't actually hear it.

yes, one was born deaf and the other became deaf from an illness when he was

about 14 yrs. old.

would the vibration be a type of micro-mini-massage?

good luck! syd

Amber,

I practice yoga and have never used music. I highly recommend it for stress

relief. Buy " Yoga for Dummies " . It's actually an excellent introduction. It

includes some short routines for beginners. Don't worry about the inverted

poses. If they make you very red, don't do them, or don't stay in them for

very long. Most beginner routines would not have a lot of inverted poses

anyway. The book will also give modified versions of the poses that are

easier for beginners, so you can adjust your workout according to your

ability. Give it a try - I bet you'll feel great! Just 20 minutes of yoga

can really make a difference in your mental outlook all day.

In addition to all these great suggestions you've been getting, I use

epsom salts in my bath at night along with &

Lavender/Chamomile Baby Wash. The epsom salts relax the muscles.

Also, the lavender in the baby wash smells so good that it relaxes me.

Both are relatively inexpensive ($1.99 for a gallon of epsom salts and

$3.79 for 9 ounces of the baby wash) and available in drugstores.

Lastly, you can do a few yoga poses that will relax you and not give

you flares. ONe of them is the child pose.

Take care!
