1. Take a relaxing bath. Add music Cheap Patrick Peterson Jersey , candles and a glass of your favourite drink: beer, tea, hot chocolate, wine or even champagne. Close the door and forget about everything else for an hour or so. This helps to increase levels of calmness and the calmer we feel, the less likely we are to get stressed out or depressed.
2. Comedy night: get in your favourite nibbles: chips, tortillas Cheap Larry Fitzgerald Jersey , salsa, crackers, cheese, pizza, chocolate, cookies Cheap Chandler Jones Jersey , ice cream etc. Crack open a bottle of wine or pour yourself a beer or two and spend a full evening watching your favourite funny films or comedians. Laughter raises our spirits and is a great antidote to the stresses and trials of modern living.
3. Get out of the firing line: Take off for some peace and quiet for a day or better still a weekend or a week. Take a journal, relax and gather your thoughts. When we're under pressure or struggling to cope with a major situation or event in life, seeing solutions to our problems can be really difficult. Distance from problems can bring clarity and relieve tension. I love going to the coast when I feel like this and it always, without fail, helps me to calm down and find solutions. I don't know why but there's something really soothing about being near the ocean. Being near water, come to think of it.
4. Increase calmness and feel great by indulging in massage. Share a massage with your partner ? create a relaxing atmosphere by softening the lights and have oils and towels to hand. Lavender oil is particularly relaxing. Or Cheap Josh Rosen Jersey , treat yourself to a massage from a professional masseur or masseuse. For a really invigorating massage, visit a Turkish baths if you're fortunate enough to have one nearby. Massage is very relaxing and increases intimacy between lovers. It's one huge stress buster as well but be warned, it's addictive! Not a bad thing to be addicted to though, and it will do you no end of good.
5. Spend a week without watching any television. Television can fill your mind with negativity, bombard you with image manipulation via commercials and give you a distorted view of reality by showing you everything that's bad about the world. Famines, disasters Cheap David Johnson Jersey , murders, violence, war ? the list is endless ? and news programmes and soap operas are full of such events. So give your mind a break from this assault on your senses. Abandon the television for a week and do something more rewarding instead: Read a book, listen to music, socialize, workout Cheap Hakeem Butler Jersey , go for a walk or try your hand at something new. If you need to hear the news, listen to a radio news bulletin once a day. But try and avoid them for one week, replace them with something more life enhancing and see how you feel.
The above ideas are very simple to implement but they are also very effective in helping to relieve stress and tension. Give them a try and watch your mood levels rise!
Until next time.
Beware The Internet Marketing Value Vampires ECommerce Articles | May 22, 2008 Beware people and things that keep you from earning what your products and services are worth. Here's how to identify them, and how to protect yourself.
Thousands of aspiring Internet marketers come online every year, filled with hopes of earning a full-time living from the Internet. They learn HOW to actually accomplish that Cheap Zach Allen Jersey , yet they never reach their dreams.

That success killer is a "class of poisons" called "The Value Vampires."

Symptoms of value vampires operating in your universe include:

- You host teleseminar where you teach people things that they need to know, and you don't charge anything for the teleseminars or recordings because you consider what you teach "common knowledge" or "common sense."
- You record interviews or teleseminars and then give away the MP3's Cheap Andy Isabella Jersey , and PDF's that you pay to have created, because you become convinced that the information they contain is "common knowledge."
- You spend countless hours creating Camtasia videos showing how to do things such as configure scripts, generate website traffic, or create products, and then you give the videos away because you assume that "everyone already knows what you teach."
STOP for a moment and examine what you're doing!

These are people that you interact with everyday who tell you "point blank" that you should give away your hard work.
They imply that it can't possibly have any real value.
They subtly hint that you should feel guilty having the audacity to charge someone for your ebooks, audios Cheap Kyler Murray Jersey , videos, teleseminars, and even LIVE events.
