Write it Down

To avoid tossing and turning at night over the stresses of the day, set aside 15 to 20 minutes before bed to write down things that bothered you throughout the day. Even if you tear it up and throw it out, getting it down on paper will help free you from thinking about it before sleep.

Try Holistic Care

Holistic psychology combines talk therapy with alternative health care practices, such as dietary changes, nutritional supplements, exercise, biofeedback, meditation, and self-hypnosis. The goal is to improve physical and mental health and create a more enjoyable and productive life.

Take a Mental Vacation

Can’t get out of town? Listen to a relaxation CD, look out the window at a pleasant scene, look at pictures from a happy time, or just take a walk to help your mind take a break.
