Replenish Your Energy: It is important that the mind and the body both understands that you are now in a mood for living out of stress.
This means that you do not want to think of anything or do anything that will be taxing for the body or the mind.

When you can sleep, catch hold of some good thoughts and just relax till you are cool enough to stand tall and run.
