I Found Some Cheap Stress Relief!

As I work long and exhausting day and night shifts 6 days/nights a week, as much as I love my job I do get stressy at times but I've found a way to ease it!

Our local discount shop in the kids section they sell packs of 3 bubble bottles for only £1.45!

The last stressy night shift I did, on a break in the staff room I put the dipper in the bottle and started blowing bubbles!

Now a lot of my work colleagues, even our boss has started doing it!

I'll be 60 in a few days but it's boring being an adult all the time so ''I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles ....!''

Interesting - one suggestion for relaxing before taking blood pressure readings is to breathe in for a slow count of, say 4 or 5 (or more), hold for the same length and then breathe out for the same count through the mouth -just like blowing bubbles. Maybe Ibubbles is what I need for my BP monitoring!
