1.Curb indoor pollution. Maintain proper ventilation in your home whenever possible.Make sure
your home or office is smoke-free, if possible also, use a quality air-ionizer device.All gas
appliances should be checked once a year to maintain that they are properly ventilated to limit the
output of poisonous carbon monoxide.
2.Maintain healthy"straight-up" reading posture. Poor,"slumped" posture can lead to tension
headaches, vision problems and pain the neck.
3.Inhale an energizing scent. Research suggests that lemon and peppermint scents are
energizing.To further test this, have a cup of lemon or peppermint tea or chew peppermint gum.Or
you can also try potpourri containing such scents as pine, jasmine, lavender or orange. Or better
yet, lemongrass/peppermint oil in the tiny bottle.
4.Do ab exercises.By strengthening the back you'll be eliminating room for future back and neck
problems.
5.Minimize noise at home and at work. Loud or irritating sounds creates severe emotional and
physical tension.
6.Sip ice water.It keeps your cells hydrated and helps you burn calories by stoking the fire to burn
more quicker. When you drink anything cold, it raises your metabolism to keep your body
temperature from dropping. In fact,seven 16 ounce ice water drinks daily will burn an extra 200
calories per day!
7.Practise meditation,yoga or anything that has been proven to reduce stress.
8.Soak in 5 minutes of bright light.Sunlight or bright indoor light will give you a powerful surge of
energy.
9.Perform mental exercises. Exercises, such as word puzzles, video games or anything involving
brain activity will make your mind run more efficiently and effectively.You'll get more work done
which leads to more happiness overall.There is also new technologies emerging, such as quality
NLP programs that train your brain by way of brainwave entrainment.
10.Do trigger point therapy on yourself. Wherever you feel really tense pain,feel for a band of
muscle tissue close to the pressure point, and then press or squeeze it with light to moderate
pressure, visually "massaging" the pain out of the area.Continue pressing for 5-15 seconds, then
release.Do this until you feel less stress in that area.
