Destressing

Feeling too much stress lately from work, parties & the whole festive season!
Wondering what's the best way to destress. Sleep it off, excercise or play some slow music?

When you are stress you cant sleep, just too tense to do that anyway. And no time for excercise! So down to music.

I heard classical music seems to be the most effective at soothing stress!The tempo of these compoositions like Mozart or Beethoven can induce brainwave changes & reset emotional switches that trigger the relesae of pleasure producing chemicals.

Well if classical music is not your cup of tea, try songs that literally put a smile on your face. The brain is associative, & when you like a song, your brain puts a happy tag on it when it's filed away. Hearing the song again brings back happy memories-  & that should be soothing enough!

What is a “Widow Year” ???

I read that 2013 is  a “Widow Year” …so try not to get marry this year?????

OK what’s  a “Widow Year”?

A  “Widow Year” aka  “Blind Year”  happens when there is no Li Chun or “first day of Spring” in that year. It is because there’s a difference in time periods between the solar and lunar calendars when Li Chun occurs before the first day of the Lunar Chinese New Year. This means  Li Chun would be  absent ….so events like marriages will become  inauspicious as  Li Chun represents the start of Spring and Spring represents new beginnings.

So no Li Chun = no Spring = no new beginning = inauspicious.

However if you die die have to get marry,  according to experts,  there are always  auspicious days coinciding with a person’s birth date that will overcome any in-auspiciousness of that year so one can still get married. But just get the right date!!! Good luck!!!
