To improve your overall well-being and banish stressful feelings, a new report recommends singing. Yep, top of your lungs joyful song!
The report went on to say that there was some importance in knowing all the words to the song - but I have to wonder if that was an opinion rather than a fact. I say that because I hardly ever know all the words to any song, but get great stress relief by singing along to a really rockin' tune.
Better yet - dance! My email holds 4 or 5 great tunes that friends have sent over the years. If I let myself get down in the dumps I click over to one of them and get up and dance with myself.
The dogs look at me like I've lost it - but that's OK.
The Christmas season is here - and if it gets you down, try singing and dancing. You'll feel better both mentally and physically.

Great ideas. When my son was a teenager and he would get frustrated I would tell him to yell at the top of his lungs. He did, and felt great afterwards. Of course we must be selective on where we yell.
Hi, and thanks for the comment.
You're right! Yelling at the top of your lungs helps too. And a few other things that I didn't mention because not everyone does them.
My son used to go work on his punching bag... And I used to go outside and chop kindling in winter ... and pull weeds in the garden in summer.
I'll never forget the time my husband and I had a disagreement and I stomped off - to come back later with an armful of kindling. All he said was "Feel better now?"
And I had to admit it - I did!
