15 Minutes To Your Best Self
I noticed that you do get migraines (me too!) and I think they're horrible. Therefore today is the day for lil sis to feel better! (Hence the title.)
Tips on reducing the pain
» Lie down in a dark, quiet room.
» Put a cold compress or rag over your forehead.
» Massage your scalp using a lot of pressure.
» Put pressure on your temples.
How to really prevent migraines
» Get enough sleep. Have you tried Polyphasic sleep?
» Reduce stress. I know that this is easier said than done, but something it's really vital to let go of schoolwork (which can be hell). Take a walk when you are so stressed out about an essay -- instead of just lying down -- it helps more and your heart beat will not be elevated that fast = lesser chances of a panic attack.
» Have you read Indexed?
» Procrastinate on LiveJournal.
Foodie time!
» Chop half a ripe cantaloupe into 1-inch chunks.
» Blend with 1teaspoon of chopped fresh mint and 1 tablespoon lime-flavoured Perrier.
» Drop in quarter-cup of minced pineapple.
» Add quarter-cup of minced strawberries
Makes two servings, stays in the fridge for two days. Only 64 calories!
Burn your tongue (again?)
» Steer clear of acidic/spicy foods.
» And no alcohol-based mouthwash. (No booze, of course!)
» Numb the area by sucking on a frozen fruit pop or ice chips.
» It takes two or three days for your tongue to heel, or else go see a doctor!
Where did all the time go?
» Block off in half-hour slots in your planner than a-hour. You waste less time.
» Still using manual viewing of your favourite blogs? RSS feeds to the rescue.
» Say "no".
» Get things done by prioritise.
And now for the daily music fix: THE ARCADE FIRE - NEON BIBLE. It's the best album of the year, definitely, even though it's only March.
Tomorrow's the last day -- I'm planning something quite big, I think. Yeah. Thanks for joining me on the ride! (although technically speaking you're away.)
