You know that achy feeling that comes with a headache that's on its way, or you already have a headache and neither aspirin nor coffee is doing the trick? One of my favorite self-care tips is the following. First, sit back in your chair, close your eyes, and and then with both hands apply pressure from the center of your forehead all the way back to your temples. And you repeat this at least 10 times. What you'll find is that your tension will go away and you will get immediate stress relief.
