Stress makes us feel tense and upset. Because we spend so much of our time at work or trying to get to and from it, it is likely that daily stress is a work-related thing. I want to share 4 techniques that help me survive.

1. When I am stressed at work I use a “stress ball”, which I squeeze. I actually call it a “squeeze ball“. I bought my online, but I have seen some in the supplement stores.

2. Another great way to relieve stress is by stretching. I mostly stretch my neck muscles by moving my head and my shoulders.

3. In order to stay calm when in stress, we must provide the brain with a lot of oxygen. Usually, stressed-out people tend to hold their breath, or their breath becomes very shallow. So, to help myself I have learned to breath deeply from the abdomen. This is how I do it: I am starting by becoming aware of my breathing. I place my hand on my stomach below the rib cage and breath in slowly through the nose, count till three, and breath out through my mouth. I feel how air is entering and leaving my lungs. Deep breathing has become a part of my daily routine. I do it every morning before starting my car.

4. Visualization is something that I am trying. I try to imagine a garden or a house. I think about all the details I want it to have: flowers or chairs. For me, visualization works when I go to sleep and can not take my mind away from worrying.

5. This one I forgot, so please send me your advice on how to relax fast.

I hope my post has helped you to relax. Please leave some comments, and let me know how you reduce stress and improve your mood while at work.

Acai – is this latest super miracle food from Brazil that can help you with weight loss and lower your high cholesterol. Acai is a small purple berry with many amazing properties. It’s rich in fiber, omega fatty acids, and it is a great anti-oxidant. Acai fruit is great for colon cleansing. The berry has lots of soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which are important for colon cleansing.

Fiber is primarily responsible for getting things moving in your body and it helps push all the toxic crud out. And, it’s fiber that keeps you regular. In addition to fiber, the Acai berry also can reduce inflammation. Chronic inflammation, particularly of the large intestine, is a very serious problem in many people. So the fact that the acai berry has high levels of anthocyanins, an anti-inflammatory agent, is a pretty good reason to make it part of your colon cleansing effort.

Great acai products, which can be used daily are:
