If you really feel like pulling your hair out again, you should take a break

Time-out 1

In a bad mood? Then simply download the free "myPG" app onto your cell phone. Or visit the website www.mypg.de. There you'll find really funny and constantly updated good-humor videos: Puppies, clumsy cats, baby elephants ... The clips are sure to make you smile again. Here's a small sample.

Time out 2

Run some water, put on some candles, turn on some music or pick up your favorite book - a hot bath is wonderfully relaxing. Perfect before going to bed.

Time out 3

Ever meditated? Anyone can learn. Web tip: www.ich-will-meditieren.de

Time out 4

Do you know what's even better than chocolate? Fruit with chocolate. Treat yourself to a real endorphin firework with a chocolate fondue. Calorie bomb? Oh no! It's okay once in a while.

Time out 5

Do you have a favorite musician? Then buy tickets for their next concert today. It's scientifically proven: Music calms you down and also boosts the release of happiness hormones.
