It's a small world. I know you (from your comments) & think of you as a friend. (I'm also impressed by your English--& your insights.)

About stress--remember, stress is your reaction to what's going on, not the situation itself. I find that distinction empowering. The StressEraser isn't magic, it's just a convenient way to calm down if we take the time to use. That's the hardest part. ;)     Ellen, Thank you for the kind words. I don't have kids around, so I often have to have fun by myself. I actually got my teddy bear out this week. He's 27" long and a great hugger. But I agree about exercise and journal writing. bikehikebabe walks in nature a lot. I used to walk everyday but I'm photosensitive and tend to stay out of the sun now. So I use my jogging trampoline and my NordicTrack treadmill. I think it's great that you can bike to work. Thank you both for sharing! bikehikebabe,

Having fun with my kids, hugging, playing and laughing will surely do the trick also! And of course, exercising. Lately I'm taking the bike to work (yep, the Netherlands ;-)), which helps reduce stress, gives me the opportunity to think things over, enjoy the weather/nature, and do some exercise at the same time! Before going to bed, I try to write in my journal. To get the thoughts running around in my brain sorted out, to quiet down, and come in contact with myself again. This almost always takes away lot of the stress! And you know, visiting the right blog or two, like e.g. yours usually helps me too. Just sit down, read great advice, and take the time to think about my own point of view (and write it down in understandable English ;-)).. Thanks Jean, for providing me with just that!!

Our minds work so differently, that they don't mesh like people who think on the same track. What I need to do is give more information. This is tedious when in a hurry. Jean, $299 for the StressEraser is a lot of $. But I'll get one if it works. Going to sleep at night is hindered if I think about my day; what I'm going to do tomorrow. I listen to a Book on CD & forget about myself. zzzzzzzzzz~~snore My stress is communicating with my husband (of 51 years).
