Stress wrecks havoc on my body. When I was in college, I would get walking pneumonia once a year. It sucked. Stress, lack of sleep, and bad eating habits broke down my immune system. It was miserable. When I graduated in 2009, I realized that I needed to find coping mechanisms to deal with stress before it takes over.

Here are a few things that help to relieve stress:

Bath and Body Works Stress Relief Body Wash

Bath and Body Works (BBW) has these AWESOME stress relief body washes from their aromatherapy line  that comes in soothing scents such as eucalyptus spearmint, eucalyptus tea, and vanilla verbena. I don’t know what BBW puts in these washes, but as soon as I apply the product, whatever was stressing me has washed away.

Writing

Of course I would say writing, right? Guilty.

Sleep

A nap can do me a world of good. Seriously.

Honey Chamomile Tea

A hot cup of honey chamomile tea feels like a soothing hug. Goodbye stress, hello calm.
