Mirror, Mirror on the Wall Says: Take a Chill Pill
By Katie Bessert FOR LA2DAY.COM 29 Jun 2008

We've all heard it before, stress is one of the leading causes of disease, depression, bad attitudes and gnarly wrinkles. So what are you going to do about it? I suggest pouring yourself a nice tall glass of water and/or wine and taking a chill pill. They don't call Sunday the day of rest for nothing!
All week long you are on the go, places to be, people to see, appointments to make and errands to run. It's always go go go. Keeping up with the Jones's in Los Angeles requires you to work like there are 36 hours in a day and like you have six arms. It's overwhelming. My suggestion? Take Sunday off! The dry cleaning can wait, the sun won't stop shining if you sleep until eleven and drink coffee until one. You know that money that you have been saving up to buy a treadmill? I whole heartedly suggest you use that money to buy Jimmy Buffet's greatest hits, a six pack, and a hammock.

SLOW DOWN, LOS ANGELES!!! |
If your type A personality says that a whole day of slow, easy enjoyment is too extravagant, start off with an afternoon. Go to a three hour brunch with your friend and drink mimosas. Stop by the grocery store and pick up a trashy magazine, turn off your cell phone, and go to the beach. If you don't think that these choices create a healthier, happier, more beautiful life, than you are 100% out of your mind! Kill stress one nap at a time!
All I have to say is, that when is all said and done, I highly doubt you will regret the time you spent being extravagant to your soul. So buy a rocking chair and in the words of my very old, very happy great aunt: "Take it easy breezy. You've got a long way to fly."
