Hi Everyone - I'm Ava and a mum of 2 preschoolers. I also mind a one year old so my house is quite busy! I quit smoking 2 months ago and this past week my stress levels have been so high. I've been losing my patience with the children a lot and I feel just terrible afterwards.  They can be naughty as all children are but I should be more patient! Before I quit smoking I could go outside and take a few minutes to have a cigarette and pull myself together but now I'm not sure what to do to relieve stress. Exerise is difficult for me because I have back problems. I'm waiting to start a yoga course soon and I'm hoping it will help. Anyway that's my story - I guess I could do with some stress management exercises other than deep breaths and counting to 5! So if anyone knows of anything that would help I'd be very grateful!  Please note I am not a Doctor, my advice is from personal experience only. Ava :)
