I must mention that I am not a medical expert and this material should only be used for education, information, and entertainment purposes only. These techniques worked for me, but I strongly suggest consulting a licensed medical professional before attempting anything that I am writing.

I started this series to help people with stress issues. Please feel free to e-mail me for my opinions.

I will use a bulleted list format to list simple exercises that can help reduce your stress:

*Deep Breathing- In and Out, very slow, at least 10 times. This sends more oxygen to your brain while getting rid of carbon dioxide.

*Stretching- Stretching twice a day is a great way to reduce the chances of bodily injuries occurring. We all know those lead to a huge amount of stress.

*A Walk- This is more about thinking about things than exercise. When you feel stressed, take a walk and see how you feel after. You might have a different outlook.

*Mental Exercises- I like writing. When you write out what is stressing you out, you are more likely to find a logical solution to end the problem. For me, its easier to figure out a problem on paper than in my head. But thats just me

*And lastly, sleep. Even though its not exactly an exercise, a proper sleep cycle is known to reduce stress levels.

Are you planning a party for your kids and need a fun game for them to play? Here's a quick, fun and easy paper airplane game to play while you are transitioning to another activity. The Blind Pilot game offers a lot of giggles and grins for the little pilots-to-be...

Here's what you'll need:
- a paper airplane per person [your choice of paper airplane(s)]
- chalk or tape to mark the end point or target of some kind
- pad of paper and pencil

First, have your contestants make easy paper airplanes of their choice. (You can learn how to make 10 great designs on the Easy Paper Airplanes Website - just follow the link below.)

Next, line up your contestants with their paper airplanes and aim at a target or a finish point with their eyes closed.

You'll need someone to be the monitor who will record the following:
- who throws the closest to the target
- best nose dive
- highest paper airplane flight
- best landing
- shortest paper airplane flight
- longest paper airplane flight

As the monitor/recorder, you can make 6 contests using the above criteria. Or you can make up and add your own categories.

What makes this game fun is watching the contestants do it with their eyes closed. As a variation, have them throw the planes with their eyes open and record the difference in the flight categories.

This works well for a birthday party for kids, but don't limit yourself... If you need an outside classroom activity, or a team-building event, why not use this fun paper airplane game?

Happy Flying!
