Maybe if you did some yoga exercise and some meditations .

You could find a yoga teacher or a book and do the asanas,simple one not too difficult.


Walking is also a great exercise to do that is a natural relaxer.

Meditation is something that is taught and you could try to find a certified teacher;maybe a Tibetan monk:) or just do some basic meditation like this.

Of course a body massage always helps if you have massage clinics or spas in your area.


You have to make the time though for these.

I stretch, read, or listen to music. Exercise is also good at stress management.

Take a hot bath. Then take a long nap.
If you like to read. Read a book. Then you could do somthing you've been wanting to do for a long time.
Then when you come back home or if you didnt leave put on some sweat pants and a tee shirt and sit down and watch a movie with your favorite ice cream and a big spoon.

Take a good friend or relative to a fish and chips place and first have a couple glasses of wine and some easy going conversation....it helps to put it all in a different perspective

1)I like to take hot baths...
2)pick 2 hours out of the day and turn off ur phone ringers and just watch a good movie...
3)have a glass of wine right before bed....
4)have your husband give you a good back/body massage right before bed....(his hands are'nt broken right?)
5)my favorite one...have your husband make love to you...p.s. he does'nt have to use his whole body to do this ;)

hmmm. BUBBLE BATHS are always soothing&relaxing! =D

& don't do all the work!! recruit ur kids to do stuff 4 ya!

good luck!
