How to Relax

Ah.  If you know me, you know that I over analyze and stress out really easily.  As this tends to induce migraines, part one of Operation: Get Christine & Seth Married is to make me relax.  (Part two is to plan a wedding, if you’re curious.)  So how exactly does one de-stress on a regular basis?

This bird's got the right idea

One of the things that makes me feel best is going to the gym and walking on a treadmill.  Don’t know why, but it’s got to be on a treadmill.  I can read while on a treadmill.  Maybe that’s it.  Now I just have to get my butt over there.

I’ve taken to drinking decaf tea with breakfast. And petting the cats a lot more.  I tried getting a massage earlier this year, but the oil they used gave me some sort of hives/rash on my arms and legs after a day, so that option is pretty much out.  I’d like to get one of those therapeutic heat wrap thingies filled with lavender, but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.

Any other suggestions for a known migraineur?  I could just stock up on limes for the next year or so.  We’d have to build that feature into the wedding budget.
