Summarize the following:
Adding a few techniques for staying relaxed into your daily or weekly routine can help keep anxiety under control. Practice deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness meditation, yoga, or guided imagery. Regular practice of these exercises can help you turn to them before or immediately when anxiety strikes rather than using them as a last resort. Balance your schedule to incorporate proactive self-soothing and self-care activities, such as taking a long, relaxing bath or playing a musical instrument that you love. Plan one day a month to take off work and have a "mental health day" where you do nothing, or whatever you want to with no expectations of accomplishing anything. Having these days every now and then should help to relax your mind and body and recharge you. If you have a tendency to say "yes" to every favor someone asks, you could be inadvertently overloading your schedule and making yourself stressed. Take a look at your responsibilities and obligations. If they aren't serving you, drop them. In the future, pause, consider your options, and say "no" before taking on more than you can handle. Exercise is a great prescription for easing anxiety. Go for a run, participate in a group fitness class at the gym, take a hike on a nearby nature trail, or dance to your favorite music. Getting your body moving helps relieve the adrenaline that bombards your system when you're in fight or flight mode. Plus, exercise releases endorphins that increase energy and lift your mood. Anxious feelings may worsen when you're sleep deprived, so try to get adequate rest each night. If you have trouble getting to sleep, try shutting down your electronics early and taking a warm bath before bed. Processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol can make anxiety worse. Instead, fuel your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods that reduce anxiety. Eat plenty of complex carbohydrates like fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, and beans in addition to lean sources of protein, nuts and seeds. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids may benefit brain health and mood, so include fatty fish like salmon and mackerel in your weekly menu. Food additives, such as food coloring, and chemicals in certain foods can increase anxiety.

summary: Do relaxation exercises to calm down. Practice self-care. Say "no" when you don't want to take on a new responsibility. Stay active to fight stress. Get at least 8 hours of sleep nightly. Choose nutritious foods over junk, caffeine, and alcohol.

You can do this both before you start working and during your work. Dedicated "think-time" can only help you, especially if you're having trouble finding creative solutions to long-standing problems. Spend a little time thinking before you start work. Take breaks throughout to think about what you're doing. Whenever you meet an unexpected challenge, take a break to think about that challenge. Maybe you'll consider a solution you hadn't thought of before. Studies have shown that people's optimal times for cognitive capacity vary. Figure out when you think best and try to work and be creative at that time. Other studies have shown that some people are most creative at times when they are least productive in a conventional sense. Experiment and try to find out when you're most creative and inventive. This is different for every person. Oftentimes the most structured and orderly environments don't promote creativity. Try to create an environment that fosters your own personal creativity. Put up images or posters that demonstrate the creative impulse. Create a non-orthodox working area, like putting a couch in your office. Move around while you work. Some people like to stand while they work at their desk. Others walk slowly on a treadmill while they read, write, or think. While sometimes new and innovative ideas might come to you when you're occupied with something else, you should probably devote a little time to brainstorming and to working ideas out. Spend half an hour before bed thinking about things, if this works for you. Take a little time from your lunch to think about problems. Whenever you feel like your creative "juices" are flowing, stop whatever you're doing (if you can), and work through those ideas. While structure and routine are very helpful and can promote productivity, they might also stifle creativity if they dominate your existence. Instead, reserve structure and routine for when you must absolutely be productive, and allow yourself to be less structured at other times in order to nurture your own creativity. Limitations, in terms of time and physical supplies, can help spur creative solutions to problems. When it comes to problem solving or creating, enjoy the fact that you are limited by time and/or materials. Think about other ways to achieve your goal that might save time or supplies. Jeff Bezos said, "I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out." Rules, constraints, and limitations force you to think creatively. So next time you're blaming your manager or client for thinking too small, you should thank them.

summary: Give yourself time to think. Work at the best time for you. Construct a work environment that fosters creativity. Devote time to being creative, but don't try to "plan" creative time. Avoid structure and routine all the time. Enjoy limitations when it comes to creating.

Products such as gels and serums can be great for getting your hair to do what you want, but too much can end up causing your hair to look greasy or "crunchy." It's always easier to add more than take products out! Roller-setting your hair can help straighten and smooth your hair with less heat than a curling iron or straightener. Use a heavy conditioner and completely detangle before using rollers. Magnetic rollers and satin-covered foam rollers will be kinder to natural hair than other types. Avoid velcro or mesh rollers at all costs, as they are prone to tangling and could break your hair. Protective styles such as braids, twists, and knots keep the hair secured, which cuts down on styling time and helps to take pressure off of fragile ends. There are many tutorials online that break down these styles into easy DIY steps. Good sources for styling advice include "Curly Nikki" and "Naturally Curly." Some protective styles, such as braids, can take hours to do and are best done by a professional hairstylist. Others, such as buns and twists, can be easily done at home. You can keep all styles looking fresh by spritzing them daily with a mixture of water, leave-in conditioner, and moisturizing oils such as olive oil or coconut oil. Even protective styles such as braids and twists shouldn't be left in longer than 12 weeks. Always deep condition and seal your hair after taking out a style.
summary: Apply styling products in layers. Use rollers to straighten and set your hair. Consider protective styles. Moisturize your hairstyle daily. Take out a style after 3 months.
