We live a busy life, running around like crazy, stressing about what to eat, what to wear, what to do, even which nail polish to choose ... in fact most of the time we stress about silly things. It seems that the more "important" we are, the more stress we have. But stress brings sleepless nights, binge eating and raised cortisol levels that cause us to retain fat. Don’t let stress to mess up your life! Bite it, slap it, and punch it in just 10 little steps!
Ready? Follow me!
Enjoy simple things in life: as you sip your morning coffee, smell it, taste it, take a deep breath and think about all the good things that the day is going to bring to you. Enjoy and focus on the sensation of the dark aroma...
Smile at a stranger: while you’re queuing at the grocery store, while you are walking in the street, while you are sitting at your local restaurant: just SMILE! Spread love and light out to the universe and see how much better you feel for it.
Take a Breath: in the middle of the day, just take a long, deep breath and get in contact with your inner soul...
Cook your Granny's Soup: food from childhood always brings back lovely memories and makes you feel at ease... comfort on a plate to warm up your heart.

Move: go for a run, a boxing class, lift some iron, just move your body and let go of all tensions!!! Shake it off baby!
Pilates or Yoga: to stretch and strengthen body, mind and soul. Pilates allows you to focus on your body and meditate within, while yoga allows you to travel outside your body to find your peace of mind... choose the one that works best for you!
Massage: get an aromatherapy massage and relax with all the different lush oils that the therapist will use according to your needs.... choose from lavender, lemon grass, hazelnut, almond and my favourite Ylang-Ylang and many more!
Shopping: my favourite cardio... always helps me in the most stressful moments... Reward yourself with your honey’s credit card... shift the stress to someone else!
Most of all, please be happy and remember that everything happens for a reason,for good and for bad; in the end everything always works out, so just try to stop worrying!!!
