Hyland's 5 Day Stress Challenge Gift Basket #Giveaway!

Stress!  It's something that not a single person is immune to.  At some point in life (often many points) we encounter stress.  Stress can affect one's mental and physical states if not dealt with properly and lead to a total demise in one's quality of life.

Personally, I can admit I have had times in my life where the stress has pushed me to the limits and caused panic attacks.  These attacks prompted several ER visits which resulted in no serious diagnosis, thankfully. But, these were a wake up call that I needed to deal with my stress in a productive way. I have learned that instead of pushing my stress to the back of my mind and letting it all pile up, I need to deal with it head on.  What this means is de-stressing at the end of the day.
My favorite way to do this involves three things: 
1) Chocolate: Almost every night I eat a small snack of pure chocolate chips.  These are usually paired with with a glass of milk, which aides in my stress relief but also helps avoid nighttime pregnancy indigestion.

2) Hot Bath: This isn't something I do every night, but definitely try to do one a week or more.  Now that I am just 7 weeks shy of my due date, these have been happening more frequently to not only relieve my daily emotional stress, but also the physical stress.  In fact, when shopping for our current home, getting a nice sized Jacuzzi bathtub in the Master Suite was a must!  It was one of the first things that I looked at when determining whether or not to buy the home. And I can say, we definitely picked the right one!  I usually prefer using some type of bath soap that has lavender in it as that helps calm my boy and relax the nerves. 

3) Book/Magazine: While watching my favorite T.V. shows is good, reading a book or magazine I love is even better!  Some of my favorite authors include Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks, while some of my favorite magazines include People, Rachel Ray, and anything that has short/fun to read articles.
