    Exercise and Asthma

    I have the same issue. Although I've kinda been slacking on the fitness front lately, I know that breathing exercises help tremendously. Practice taking HUGE breaths, then letting them out a little at a time, extending exhalation as long as you can (within the realm of safety). This will...

    Stress at Work

    Everyone deals with work-related stress. E v e r y o n e. In order to survive, we need a coping mechanism. I personally use art. The cathartic release that drawing, writing, and playing music give me is incomparable. My faith also plays a role in reducing work anxiety. How do you deal with...

    That's absolutely the best way. Over the course of time, that "alternative" will change your brain (and your cravings). Good call
