How to Relieve Stress? | Hollywood yohana

Stressbusters, Mystyle
If any question deserves a multiple-part answer, this is it. Yes, we can get into the whole aromatherapy-calm-your-shakra-thing in a later column, but let's concentrate first on some more universal methods. Not everyone adores the smell of lavender, after all.
Almost every woman on the planet benefits from exercise. It brings a burst of energy, which, in turn, helps her focus and deal with stressful situations with increased aplomb. Exercise also, of course, helps release endorphins—you know, happy chemicals—into a woman's system. All that equals less stress.
But what if some of us are so stressed they can't even remember how to be not stressed? And how on earth are we supposed to know if we're exercising enough to release those happy chemicals? No worries. That's where Mio Stride Petite watch comes in. It has everything: A built-in heart rate monitor (to let you know when you've reached optimum heart rate), pedometer (to show you how far you've gone), an hourly reminder beeper (to make sure you get the heck up and walk around) and countdown timer (so you know when to stop already). The thing is, essentially, a personal trainer on your wrist—and best of all, it's under 80 bucks.
Once you've finished your routine, your body may need a different sort of stress relief—the kind that comes with lying still. We've recently had the pleasure of discovering the amazing effects of the rather dubious-looking Yantra Mat. If it looks like an ancient Indian bed of nails, well, that's because it's taken from the same idea: That a mat filled with little plastic spikes can be good for you. And believe us, in the case of this mat, it is. The idea is simple: Lie on it—on your back, your stomach, and let the mat's more than 8,800 acupressure points relieve your body's problems, including insomnia, fatigue, headaches, muscle tension or just general stress. It sounds bizarre, but we've tried it. And it works.
