Help For Cold Sores: Stress Relievers
Cold Sores, comes out when you least need and expects it. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This virus is not possible to get rid of when you first have gotten it, and it lies in your nerve system until its triggered. Its usually activated by things like a cold, stress, anxiety or extreme exposure to sunlight. Its important to notice that its not possible to completely remove the virus, but one can halt the amount of times that the virus shows up and how long it will stay for each time. Since stress is the number one trigger of the virus, Ive compiled a list of ten relievers of stress. Hope some of these works for you!
Put On Some Music
Music is the number one stress reliever for me. I myself love music and Ive played the drums for years, so I always start “air drumming” when some good music comes on. It can be any kind of music actually, just that it takes your thoughts elsewhere. Make it so that you stop thinking about that test at school that didnt go your way or the training you missed the other day. Its nothing you can do about that now, so live in the now.
Set Up A Spa At Your Home
Im a guy, and I gotta admit, a spa is great. Ive been to a spa at my local hotel once, and it literally changed my life. Making one at home is easy too. Just fill up your bathtub, make sure you are not disturbed in an hour, have some soothing music at hand and use some good bath products like bubbles and oils. This will make you drift away easily.
Dont Be Afraid To Cancel Appointments
Are you starting to stress out and are meeting some friends in an hour? Cancel it! If they really are your friends, theyll understand. If you need some time alone, just tell them so. You can always do something some other day and it will greatly reduce the chance of getting those pesky cold sores.
Try Solving The Rubiks Cube (insert random thinking game that you like)
This may not be for everyone, but I like to fiddle with the rubiks cube when Im feeling down or stressed out. It relieves my tension and my focus in entirely on the cube. This may not be for everyone, like my girlfriend who cant solve it, she then gets MORE stressed by trying it, but playing any kind of game is good. How about Bejeweled? That is one of my favorites on the internet. Just anything that makes your mind drift off.
