A study from the University of Chicago shows that writing your worries down can help you let go of them. Writing your worries down can help make the problem feel more manageable. This strategy works well with postponing your worries. Making note of them on the list can help you feel like you can let your worries go until "worry time." Then, when it is worry time, you can just go over your list. Talking through your worries can also help. It can put things in perspective and help you get to the root of your issues. Be aware though that too much of this can be hard for your friends. If this is an ongoing issue, consider seeing a counselor or other mental health professional. Recent studies have shown that people who rely on computers and other devices for social interaction suffer from more anxiety. Consider cutting down on your screen time to help with excess worrying.  Social media use in particular may lead to conflict, and comparison of yourself with others. It can also make it harder to relax. All this can promote worry. Switching off your devices several times a day can give you more control over your relationship with technology. Doing something with your hands, such as knitting or using "worry beads" may help reduce stress and worry. Recent studies by the Medical Research Council show that keeping your hands busy during troubling events may reduce how much they bother you later. The research has not discovered any impact on worries about things that have already happened. But, if you are in a troubling situation, do something patterned and repetitive with your hands. It might reduce worries about it later. Exercising is not just good for your body. It is also an effective way to decrease the anxiety that leads to worry. Regular exercise may be more effective than prescription drugs for decreasing your anxiety levels. Research on animals shows that exercise increases levels of serotonin. This is a brain chemical that relieves anxiety and makes you feel happier. Taking slow deep breaths activates the vagus nerve, which can help reduce stress and worry. Some people recommend taking "4-7-8" breaths when worried. To do this, exhale completely through your mouth. Then, inhale through your nose, counting to four as you do so. Hold your breath for seven seconds. Finally, exhale through your mouth, counting to eight as you do so. Medical research shows that meditating affects the brain in ways that decrease worrying. If you are a persistent worrier learning how to meditate may be very helpful. Meditation increases activity in the Ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls worrying. It also grounds you in the present moment. Meditation, done right, should make it impossible to think about future problems, at least while you are meditating. Recent medical studies support the claim that the scents of certain essential oils can reduce stress and worry. In particular, the smell of grapefruit was shown to be effective in this area. Essential oils and other aromatherapy products are available in many health stores and natural food shops. You can also try just smelling a grapefruit!

Summary: Write your worries down. Talk about your worries. Spend less time on the computer. Keep your hands busy. Get plenty of exercise. Take deep breaths. Try meditation. Try aromatherapy.


Each type of pear has a distinct flavor, color, shape, and season. No one type of pear is superior to the other, so it's up to you to decide which type of pear you want to eat, based on what pears are available to you. Here are some of the most common types of pears:  Anjou pears: These are golden green and have a buttery, sweet flavor, are in season from October to May. Asian pears: These are yellow, sort of apple shaped, and taste like a watermelon crossed with a potato. Bartlett pears: These are best when they have turned yellow, but still have green flecks they are summer pears that bruise very easily. These are green when unripe; there are also Red Bartlett pears which are similar except for their color. Bosc pears: These have golden skin and have a spicy, aromatic flavor. Comice pears: These pears are thick-skinned, green, juicy pears. Seckel pears: These pears are small and red and green and are perfect for snacks. Usually, when you buy a pear in a store, it is still hard and not quite ripe, so you will probably have to wait until it is ripened at home. Contrary to popular belief, you should actually start the ripening process by cooling the pears in the fridge first (just 1-2 days for Bartlett pears, but anywhere from 2-6 weeks for Anjou, Bosc, or Comice pears) for optimal effect. Once you remove them from the fridge, you should ripen them at between 65-75 degrees, waiting from 4-10 days for them to reach their full potential.  To speed up the process after you take the pears out of the fridge, you can place them in a paper bag or near a ripe apple or banana. You can eat  pears just like you eat an apple, by holding them and eating around the middle. Pears have cores too, so don't eat too far in (unless you want to)! If you don't like the taste of the pear's skin and find it too bitter or tough, you can carefully remove the skin with a knife first. This will make the pear a bit more juicy and tougher to eat out of your hand, though, so if you want to skin the pear, it may be better to eat them sliced (see the next step). You can also chop up a pear before eating it.  Before cutting, you might consider peeling the pear, especially if it is thick skinned, to increase the flavor. Remove the skin from the pear, slice it in half, remove the core from each side by scooping it out with a knife, and then cut the pear into slices or chunks as thick or thin as you'd like them to be. All you need to enjoy a poached pair is some sugar, boiling water, and some vanilla essence.
Summary: Choose your type of pear. Wait for the pear to ripen. Eat the pair out of your hand, skin and all. Slice the pear before eating it. Poach the pear.
