Ways to Cope with Stress
#1 Do some advanced or adult coloring books. In my opinion, this is a very good way of reducing stress and anger because you could sit and color for hours depending on how much time you have. Even if you aren’t into art, you still might enjoy this. There are hundreds of different coloring books that you could try out if you don’t like one. That also means that there are thousands of different designs to color and you can be creative with every single one of them. If this doesn’t work, then you can try some other ways listed here.

Best Rated Probiotics on Amazon for Women

Vacation and Weight Management
I recently went on vacation with my family and I managed to not gain a single pound. Sure, if I went to the Olympic training center, this would not be much of a feat; however, we went to Michigan. Additionally, we ate out one to two times a day for 7 days. And still, I did not gain a pound. We ate ice cream, we ate pizza, we ate burgers, we drank drinks. I did not have a lot of water nor did I sleep very well. From eating habits alone, it seems like I should have gained 10 pounds!

Mosaic
Shattered Glass Chapter 1 - Part 1 Laughter bursted from the car as the van pulled up onto the driveway. The door slid opened and four children jumped out, eager to burn off their pent up energy. After an hour long car ride through fields and farm towns, it was long overdue. Two of the younger ones headed toward the side of the housing to play in the backyard. Galavanting down the mulch path, they left Megan, their older sister, to carry all of her camp things into the house herself.

Yin & Yang
The contrasts between yin & yang are embedded in almost every culture. Good versus evil, light with dark dancing in a pool of their own existence, deep yet shallow. What if it goes so much deeper than our understanding of the two? What if yin is how we perceive this physical world that we mortally reside in, and yang is how we may come to understand it, or vice versa? This physical world is made of mental, spiritual, and emotional vibrations. All the vibration emulating our understanding of the events around us from a viewpoint that we may not even truly understand, just believing that we do to give ourselves assurance that what we have been taught is somewhat right and useful. The only true definition of right or wrong is the human heart. What may be right to you may be wrong to someone else or vice versa in this belief. Imagine in this lake of questions we see ourselves as clear as day and our answers are as simple as a child's wants but we choose the other side. A side that we only acknowledge to remove our own self-doubt. To learn a lesson that continues to be taught until we reach that true answer.
