When I Feel Stressed...

Last week, work was very taxing on me. So much so, that I unconscionably submitted to two mini-breakdowns with a full blown one, ending my week. And I thought I'd share a little of how I deal with my stress (besides exercise, vitamins and prayer).

When I get to that point that I'm at my wits end, nothing rejuvenates my spirit more than fresh flowers. Being a visual person, I am easily swayed by pretty things, and it doesn't need to necessarily cost a lot, to give me joy.

So, if you are feeling blue, sometimes just a few stems purchased from your local florist, can do the trick. I arranged my pink stems in an antique crystal decanter from the 20's and placed it on my Master bathroom counter (which is exposed to my Master bedroom). See?

Pretty in Pink

You know I think you are right! I always take time to look at the flowers even in the grocery store! Makes me smile!

Aw, that's a lovely suggestion! I always love these kinds of tips.

I've definitely succumbed to breakdowns my whole life, which are luckily reduced this year since leaving that crappy workplace and taking better care of my nutrition.

Cuddling with my dog definitely helps.

There is something ridiculously cheerful about gerber daisies - i am not a huge "flower person" but they always make me smile, too!

Glad something has helped you destress some. Just a little cheeriness makes a world of difference. Let's hope they stay for a bit.

Will you be posting some more destressers? I would love to hear them as I could use TONS about now.

Beautiful flowers.
