Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Hi Brad. The thing that seems to work for me is to go to a bike/walk trail with my ipod and just walk. I get out there and enjoy nature and it seems to put things back into prespective somewhat. Time off from work every 6 weeks or so helps immensely. Even if it's just a long weekend.

Brisk walks daily at least 20 minuts slowly increase helps to reduce stress and produce happy hormones, long hot baths with Camamile oil and a candle burning i prefure church candles or white candles (carefull with the candle) Camamile tea with honey or brown sugar, white sugar causes emotional instability its refined so much. As much sleep as you need after a hot bath or shower,laughter i sometimes watch comeddy shows just to stop worrying so dam much,lots of fruite, veg, whole wheats, brown bread, rice ,pasta, lean meat if it has fat on it grill it or roast it on a grill tray over oven dish to drain oil off. Keep saying positive things to your self all day, like wow i got up and didn;t feel like facing today, i ate and i was too down to eat, i went shop and it took alot of effort. Stuff to make yourself feel better about your self to realise you are doing alot better than you think oh and dump the wife(joke) i live with my partner just a little humour!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
