My Stress Reliever

Lately, everything has me stressed. School, even though i'm in my summer semester taking only two classes, relationships, losing a few "friends", so much. Well, usually all people would do is drink or smoke their problems away, but in reality, that does nothing more then intensify your feelings, and make you even more stressed. Now i am no way, shape or form a therapist, but i have been doing alot of research to combat stress, and honestly.. none of it worked. So, watching Nat Geo one day, they had an interesting episode on Yoga and the effects it leaves on your body. Me being the person i am, i read up on it and decide to give it a try. I love it. It's my way of forgetting all the problems i have, my escape from the everyday hustle and bustle. It was hard to get into at first, and when i told some of my friends, all they could do is laugh, but in turn, it ended up being exactly what i needed. Also, the practice of mediation has also helped ease my mind. Headaches come almost never now, and i have Yoga and 5 Minutes of Mediation a day to thank for that. I suggest everyone that struggles with stress to find your way to combat it, what i'm doing may not work for you, but it might be worth a try.
