Take Care of Yourself
A Note From Dr. Walden
Take care of yourself or you will not be able to write. Stress is a killer for a doctoral candidate. I recommend soft music, green teas, crystals, salt lamps, chakras, incense, sage, lavender, essential oils, reflexology, Reiki, and massage to keep the body and mind calm, stress free, and relaxed so you can write. Be certain you are eating right and sleeping enough as well.
Think about how much your time is worth. Is it really productive to spend a day cleaning windows when you can hire this done for around $100? Consider hiring a house keeper for a few months. You are worth at least $100 an hour. Hire out every job where you can pay someone else to do your menial tasks if they charge $100 or less an hour. You can find reliable people for just about any task on Angie’s List. Hiring a handyman for half a day can really give you free you to write. You must prioritize every task, and you must learn to multi-task.
I have listed a few methods I have found to relieve stress and anxiety. Although I realize not everyone will want to embrace all of these, maybe you will find one just right for you.

My goal is to help everyone to overcome their own limitations; empowerment is the best description. I have worked with people since I can remember to help them overcome whatever their issue. Now with Reiki, I can reach deeper; I can teach everyone to do self-Reiki on daily basis and overcome their life issues. I am not promising anything, the results are greatly individualized based on each person's level of involvement and life story. There are those who need to work longer than others versus those who would see results right away.
