Article: My 5 Ways Of Relieving Stress
We all know that, stress is part of living. Whether we like it or not, we have to go through stress at every point in our lives.
First of all, what is stress? Stress is our bodies' ways of responding or reacting to different kinds of threats or demands.
The past few days has been so stressful, especially with my not-so-new full time job, fall semester classes, media job and activities of daily living. Whew!!!
While I was relieving myself of the stress with my self discovered techniques, I thought I should share it on the blog. And here we are...
1. Exhale- Free Your Mind Of Worries
The first thing you can do to help yourself is try to forget whatever you might be going through. Because most times, when the head is too full, one will not only be stressed, you'll also start getting irritated by every little thing, and you'll end up pissing people off with your not-so-nice attitude. Well, I try to be as calm as possible whenever I'm stressed. I can't afford not to be nice because, I work in the hospital, and my patients need my attention and my smile to make them feel better. So, whenever I feel stressed and I had to go to work, the first thing I do as soon as I step out of my house is, forget my stress and face the day head-on with my cute smile (I love to smile but not in pictures tho). By the time I get to work, I am as happy as a puppy (lol). I am always happy at work. It makes my day easier too.
2. Soak yourself in a bath tub or step under the shower
Do you know that, one of the best stress reducer is water? Yep, try it and see. I got home from work the other day and I was as tired as a log of wood. But as soon as I stepped under the shower, I felt some sort of relief. I ran the warm water and stayed under the shower for as long as I could remember. While the water was performing some magic stress therapy in my body, I was able to reflect on the event of the day and was able to think of how to make the next day less stressful. By the time I got out of my almost 30 minutes shower (lol, it was that long). I felt relieved and ready to start the day again. Thank God for my clock that reminded me that it was time to go to bed. Talk about the magic of water therapy. Amazing!
3. Listen to Good Music
Aside being a media personality, music have always been my first love (aside my mum and dad of course). Give me music in the midst of a war, and I won't even hear the rockets (hehe, no try am o). Didn't Shakespeare wrote, "If music be the food of love, play on"? Yep, music is not only the food of love, it is also food for the soul. Most times, when I'm feeling so stressed and the shower is too far away to jump in, I just drown myself in music, relieving the moment. Music therapy has helped me in more ways than one. God bless whoever invented or started music
4. Clean the House
Have you ever heard the word, "cleanliness is next to godliness"? Oh yeah. My head was almost exploding during one of my stress moments during the week, then I remembered that I needed to wash the toliet and my bath tub (Even though I'd cleaned them three days before that already) and also mop the floor. Immediately I got down to work, humming and interchanging from my favorite worship songs to secular tunes, I forgot about my stress and enjoyed the moment while it lasted. By the time I was through with the cleaning, washing and mopping, all I wanted to do was jump into the shower, eat some food and watch some movies. The sight of the clean house and bathroom is enough to take my mind off the stress.
5. Talk to God
Yep, he answers when we call. And he listens when we talk to him. Most times, you might not really be in an atmostphere or environment conducive enough to kneel down and pray. At such moment, just talk to God in your heart, and HE will hear your whisper. Trust me, talking to God is not only magical, it also relieve you of your burden (stress). It gives you some sort of an assurance and conviction that, everything is settled.
Incase you are wondering how I arrived at my tips, all I will say is, try them and I'm sure you'll thank me later. I try these techniques most of the time and they work for me, hence, the reason why I'm sharing them.
Have a stress free weekend.

Getting Movie Roles Is Now Trade By Barter - Actress Linda Adedeji
The Nigerian movie industry is one of the biggest in the world (no doubt). So many talents emerge in the movie sphere day in day out. Y'all know that bringing talent to the light is one of my specialties; and it's been a pleasure doing it. Although Princess Linda Adedeji has been around for as long as I can remember (yep), but she is one of the actresses who are refered to as private. I have seen her in a lot of movies (you know I watch movies a lot) and she is a very wonderful actress. I was able to corner her on Instagram for a tete-a-tete and here we are today. Princess opened up about her childhood, her movies and many more. Enjoy...
Who is Princess Linda Adedeji?
Princess Linda Adedeji (PLA) is an actor, movie maker, script writer, wife, mom and a business woman.
When did you venture into acting?
It all started in 2003, when I went to Ltv8 Ikeja to meet a friend, then I sighted ToyinAdegbola (Ajoke Asewo to re mecca) I ran to her and told her I interest in acting. I was into modeling at that time and I definitely have an idea about acting; because both of them are Camera, Light, Action(lolz). I was introduced to Modupe Johnson(Faliwerepe) by Toyin Adegbola, I filled the acting form and registered with her.. That was the beginning of this beautiful journey.
Aside being an actress, I know you own a unisex salon, how do you
combine the two together?
Thirty percent of my attention is given to my salon while seventy percent goes to my acting career, because I have many stylist working for me and a manager that will do all it takes for the business to move forward. To God be the glory both the acting and the salon are going smoothly.
Could you please tell us a bit about your background?
I was born with a Silver spoon into a family of seven, I was raised by my parents who did not fail to imbibe discipline and tolerance in me. I attended St Joseph Nursery and Primary school, Ado-Ekiti which happen to be the best then and Citadel international school Ado-Ekiti, I was in SS1 when my mum and dad got seperated which mark beginining of hardship for us. Thanks to my mum, she tried all she could to send us all to higher institution even though it was polytechnic, I had my OND in Business Admistration at Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti. I later went to Lagos State University where I bagged B.sc in Industrial Relation and Personnel Management(IRPM).
I have featured in over 50movies. Few of them are, Abigeal,Doro-speaker,My Angel,The Culprit, Awotunwo, Okanran and many more
As a producer, how many jobs do have to your credit?
Six movies now, I just finished the sixth one. The first is Igbekun Abo (2004), Alejo (2005), Oyinkansola (2013), Seraye (2014), Ojo-Ale (2015) and Emi Ni Ologo (will be released soon) shot in Sept 2015.
Is it true that you must belong to a caucus before you can be given movie roles?
Yeah that's very correct. If you don't belong to a caucus or a certain clique it will be difficult to get jobs. Aside that, this days,getting movie roles is like trade by barter, you call me to your job, I call you to feature in mine too. Which makes it a bit difficult for freelance actors to get jobs.
Your role model(s) in the movie industry?
Your role model(s) in the movie industry?
Angelina Jolie, Carmen Villalobos, Maritza Rodriguez. Nigerian actors, Joke Silva,Omotola Jalade and Ayo Adesanya
Do you believe in using popular faces in a movie before you can sell any
movie?
Nope, I don't believe in it, but some marketers do force it on producers.. They will tell you this are the selling faces, so you have to use them, but thank God I don't have such marketer, my marketer believes in building stars. I use whoever fit into a role and that can inteprete my script very well. It might be a popular face or an upcoming artiste, but no sentiment at all. My hubby is my sponsor, so no marketer can dictate to me..
Your advice to upcoming actress who are yet to find their place in the
movie industry?
Stay strong and believe in yourself, don't take no for an answer, you can do it but, put God first in whatever you do. With God all things are possible. Secondly don't be desperate, thirdly, don't be in a hurry; slow and steady wins the race, you will surely get to the top, it's just a matter of time and patience. Behind every glory there is a story. Above all, be prayerful, prayer is the key to every great achievements.
Do you have any latest job, and when is it coming out?
Yes I just shot my 6th movie Emi Ni Ologo(The fortunate One). It's very interesting, educating and touching story that will make you sit right and check yourself if u are on the right path to a better future or not. Watch out for this intriguing movie, written and Produced by Princess Linda Adedeji Directed by Award winning Director Okiki Afolayan Marketed by Almoroof Media Network. Coming soon to rule your screen..
