Yes, products, books, movies to review are piling up on me quickly, with a coffee press, Adventure Time Blu-ray and a yoga towel arriving on my doorsteps today. According to the UPS email I received, I'll be getting another Blu-ray or DVD tomorrow, but I don't know what the title is. I already have several reviews I need to write and get posted in the next few days. Plus, I have three books that I need to start reading.
As you can see, blogging can become a little stressful at times. Sadly, stress got the best of me last year, which lead to my depression resurfacing. I'm glad to say this year has been stress-free so far, mostly thanks for me getting into a daily exercising routine, which includes a couple of yoga workouts. Yoga is suppose to relieve stress.
Distracting yourself from daily worries can help a person relax. I like to search the internet for random things; sometimes my searches leads to new products for me to review here on my blog. Lately, I have discovered finderio.com, a free social people and companies search engine; showing their professional life connections. The search engine indexes public data from social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and other public sites. This is a great way for bloggers to find a specific contact at a company or PR firm.
Though I have taken the stress out of my life, I still can't sleep most nights, so I typically watch a few videos on Youtube or catch up on the latest Vampire Dairies episodes.
If the internet doesn't clear my mind, then I just leave the television on the Fox News Channel while I lay in bed. I put a timer on the television for two-hours, so if I do eventually fall asleep the television will shut off by itself.
In the past, I have done a little bit of cross-stitching (yes, straight guys can cross-stitch), but it seems I couldn't find much time for it last year. I took an old project out of the closet and I have began stitching on it again. My original intentions was to give it to my grandmother, but I highly doubt if I can finish it by Mother's Day; maybe Christmas.
I'm curious to see how other people relieve stress. Please post a comment with your thoughts.
