It’s not Regis Philbin’s Millionaire. It’s real life. We are a society so caught up in email that we don’t always touch base with our friends via phone. This weekend pick a time to call an old friend and just enjoy having a leisurely conversation.
Self Massage is cheap and requires no special equipment. It’s a good way to help you distress at the end of the day.
Try some techniques the Maya Clinic Health Letter listed:

Well as some of you know I stopped using shampoo in October 2008–that’s almost a year now, but this is my first summer without the soapy suds. One of the many changes I appreciated with ceasing shampoo use was that I didn’t seem to need conditioner anymore. That all changed with days at the beach and humid weather curling my hair into knots at my scalp. I don’t need to use conditioner every day, but I have needed to use it, on average, about once a week.
It’s no big deal, but I thought it was important to mention since I seem to have become an advocate of less shampoo. Occasionally conditioner is a side effect of a New England summer.
