What are some ways that you manage stress ? What activities do you participate in to help calm you ? What relaxes you ?
I also drink tea, a mix with peppermint, lemon balm, chamomile, hops, valerian and rose leaves. It helps me to take warm baths with lavender oil. I feel less stressed when I work out often. Most of the time I watch tv series and play games, so my mind doesn't wonder around.
I just listen to some Music, pray or go take a Walk..
Try yoga n meditation. Just taking a different approach to stressful situations. Try just remaining calm, because it is so easy for us with lupus to get a flare up and end up in the ER.I hate when that happens. I've never been in the hospital as much as I do now. So I took up practicing yoga n meditation. It really helps out. Also, I eliminated all negative things out of my life. Friends, family, etc.
Those all sound like great stress management methods. I also read my bible and study for my temple meetings. My favorite tea is green tea it has healing power. It has been so good for me
Good ideas with the cold temperatures here the warm bath with lavender sounds like the best. Hope you feel good
