Stress Management

Stress Management

Deadlines. Soccer practice. Jet lag. Meetings. Multi-tasking. Forget about dinner! As our schedules become more and more hectic, the need for effective, time- and cost-sensitive stress management becomes paramount.



Focusing on our immediate environment, its sounds, tastes, and smells, as well as our breathing are all ways to cope with the ever increasing stress in our lives.

Music Relaxation Therapy

Music can be magical. We often use it for background "noise" as a distraction, but it can also be used as an enlightening, therapeutic experience. The music appreciation center of our brains, for most people, can be found in the right side of the brain.

When you listen to music, you switch from the left hemisphere (presides over logical, analytical, sequential activities) to the right (intuitive, integrating, emotion-based activities). Find music-jazz, blues, rock 'n roll, country, classical, new age, whatever relaxes you-and spend a few minutes every day just listening.

Don't answer the phone, make dinner, or try to be productive; just close your eyes and listen. Your body and mind will be refreshed and ready to meet the rest of the day.

Deep Breathing

When we become stressed, our breathing tends to become shallower. Less oxygen is taken in with each breath, and our blood is forced to move through our bodies more quickly to get enough oxygen to our brain and vital organs. Deep breathing techniques counteract this stress response and help us to let go of tension.

Repeated, long term use of deep breathing exercises can relieve physical symptoms of stress such as headaches, backaches, stomachaches, high blood pressure, and insomnia.

Deep breathing exercises can be done sitting, standing, or lying down. You will want to wear comfortable, loose clothing. Begin by inhaling through your nose. Count to five and let your lower abdomen fill with air.

Exhale through your lips silently counting to five. Do this for at least two minutes. To increase relaxation, imagine that you are on a beach, in a forest, or any other relaxing place, smelling pleasant scents and hearing pleasant sounds. Eventually, you may be able to slowly count to ten.

Invigorating Bath for Aching Feet

Add six drops of eucalyptus oil and six drops of rosemary oil to a bowl of very warm water. Soak your feet for 10 minutes. Run hot water over your ankles and feet for 30 seconds and then run cold water over your ankles and feet for 30 seconds. This will relax your muscles and improve circulation.

Jet Lag

Keep sachets of lavender, rosemary, and lemon with you when you travel. The scent of lavender will relax you; rosemary and lemon will keep you alert. Lavender, rosemary, and lemon scented candles, baths, and facials are also excellent ways to counteract the effects of jet lag.

Most Unusual And Creative Fish Tanks

An aquarium not only gives an aesthetic appearance to our interiors but also brings us close to nature. Fish alleviates the stress and reduce blood pressure, so making it a part of your interiors seems to be good thought. Without doubt, unusual fish tanks have taken the aquarium industry by storm. Fish tanks, these days, are available in arrange of shapes and sizes. If you’re on the hunt for something unique, here are a few unusual and creative fish tanks that will make for an inimitable design statement inside your home.

The unusual space will make your marine pal feel posh without you having to blow a good portion of your retirement fund to please high fishiness. Making use of the old bulbs not only helps to utilize the old bulbs but also gives a new designed house to your fishes.

Come out of the notion that toilet serves just one purpose. They can be inspiration for many other things. Just like this aquarium. The Toilet aquarium becomes a good house for your fishes and a cool statement for your home. These aquariums take the design to a new level altogether and enhances your living space with cool stuff.

The aquarium makes use of Chumby, a little open source widget platform, with WiFi, a touch screen, some USB ports, and a squeeze sensor. The chumby monitors the fish tank and is attached to some hardware that sits in the fish bowl and measures water conditions to make sure your fish stays healthy. It also allows you to monitor your fishes with the webcam.

Till now we have come across aquariums that are designed to house fishes. But this fish tank is a real object, designed for a real purpose. I’ll tell you all about it after the jump. The main benefit from the perspective of the children was the prospect of being able to swim and survive under water for longer, and being able to change their interactions with one another as a result of this new imagined world. During a brainstorm, the children imagined sea creatures they wished they could become.

The Floating Garden by Benjamin Graindorge is one innovative aquarium that minimizes the problem of water maintenance, and at the same time shows a nice symbiotic relationship between plants and fish. Designed to fit into small spaces, this ecological system allows you to recycle the aquarium water for repeated use. Gravel-based filtration allows decantation of water through a sand layer of 5 cm, thereby removing bacteria and larger impurities and turning nitrogen into nitrate.
