Recharge with 'me time'
No matter how busy you are and how many demands life makes on you, you need time for yourself. Give yourself permission to relax and to rest.
Try these simple tips:
- If you have bad cramps, you may feel better if you lie down for a while and relax with a book or some music.1
- Try to minimize stress — remember, the stress is often not due to what happens, but to how you react to it.1
- Deep breathing exercises can help relax you too.1
- Massaging and rubbing your stomach may relieve cramps.1
- Getting enough sleep makes it easier to cope with your symptoms and with everything else life throws at you!
