Fighting Illness ♥

Recently I got very sick. I woke up and just felt...

It was horrible and I'm glad I got that out of my system. I thought I'd share with you some things I did to help speed up the process of getting better!

Before that, let's go over somethings:

There is no cure for the common cold, but you can get feel better by:

♥ Taking a lot of time to rest!

♥ Drink plenty of water!

♥ To get rid of sore throats, gargle some warm salt water! 

♥ Taking an aspirin for headache!

Now here are some little homemade things that helped me out!

♥ I had an awful sore throat and nothing could help it! Until finally I tried some honey and lemon and oh my gosh, it left my throat so nice and smooth! The raspiness was gone and I could talk normally again! I recommend two spoonfuls of honey with lemon dripped over it! It works wonders!

♥ Something that makes me feel better is getting to watch some of my favorite movies and shows! I've been watching the new Family Guy season on Netflix. Some other movies/shows that I love on Netflix is Crybaby with Johnny Depp, Breaking Bad, The Cleveland Show and whatever else! Just snuggle up in bed with a light snack and enjoy your show!

♥ Lastly!! Don't go out if you know you're feeling sick. It'll just make it worse. I found this out the hard way! Remember that the faster you get better the faster you can go out again!!

I hope this helps you if you're sick, and I hope you feel better soon!! 

Dealing With Stress ♥

So what ARE the effects of stress anyway? 

Is there anything you can do about stress?
Of course you can! The good news is you can learn to take control of your stress.
Here are somethings you can try!
♥ Figure out what exactly is stressing you out.
♥ Try to find a way to reduce your stress.
♥ Learn HEALTHY ways to combat stress!

What can you do to avoid stress?

Stress is what you feel when you bite off more than you can chew. Stress makes hormones that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a burst of energy. 

Some stress is totally normal and sometimes even good. Stress can help you meet a deadline or study hard for an exam!

But if you experience stress regularly, your body could start reacting negatively. It can cause horrible headaches, stomach cramps, back aches, and it can be harder to get a good night's sleep. It can make one's immune system weak and make it harder for one to fight off illness. 

Stress is a daily thing for some people and even if you can't get rid of it completely, you can do things to lower your stress levels.

Some more tips!

♥ Take care of your body! Sleep often and eat well. Smoking and excessive drinking increases stress!

♥ Sometimes stress happens when you do more than you can handle. Learning to say "no" to people will help get over that.

♥ Don't be afraid to ask for help! People who care about you will help you and wouldn't want you to be stressed all the time. Sometimes you need outside help, and that's fine. Talk to a parent or trusted adult, having stress is nothing to be ashamed of!
