Instead of treading water and tiring yourself out float on your back by arching your spine and pushing your hips up toward the sky. Spread your limbs out and use small movements with your arms to stabilize. Contemplate life.

Feeling depressed or just thoroughly upset? Have a snack containing the following: –Dark chocolate (to raise endorphins) –Blueberries (to raise serotonin) –Green tea+ (which contains L-theanine that blocks stress receptors in your brain) –Anything rich in B-vitamins like 5-Hour Energy, VitaminWater, or banana chips (as B-vitamins replenish energy that’s sapped when you are depressed) I’ve used this custom snack pack to great effect in the past, even coming back from being legitimately suicidal. I’ve had my mood turn around inside of 2 hours with this. I’m on a daily antidepressant now and am doing much better overall, but sometimes I still need this emotional bandaid fix. +Hot or cold green tea will work, but for added benefit, holding a warm mug of hot tea sends signals to your brain to help your muscles relax, which you may be subconsciously tensing due to stress.
Water should be the first thing you put into your body each day.

If you need to get up in the middle of the night keep one eye closed so that when you flip on the lights it stays attuned to night vision. That way you can still see in the dark with the other eye when you’re done.
If you’re worried you’re gonna throw up, you’re mouth usually fills with saliva a bit beforehand because the contents of your stomach are harmful to the throat. It’s a pretty good sign you’re gonna toss them cookies.
If you have a stuffed up nostril, lay on your side which is opposite to the nostril (e.g. If the left nostril is plugged, lay on your right side). Try tilting your head different ways and just lay there. Once you find the right head orientation, the pressure will relieve itself. It’s orgasmic.
