Default diet and exercise

I have a very clean diet, avoid caffeine and I exercise at least three times a week (every day if time permits). My schedule has been very hectic lately and I've only gotten the chance to exercise on the weekends.

I find that listening to a binaural beat CD as I'm falling asleep helps make my naps more restful and productive. I try not to nap and keep a regular schedule, but today I was really having trouble maintaing focus and concentration in classes and I needed one before starting my studying.

I'm a natural athlete so taking care of my body comes easy to me. Most people say I'm very athletic so I would really say that my only lifestyle problems (that I have been working on) are becomine less of tense individual and learning health coping strategies. It is a little hard though being around a family of very high strung and difficult people; especially my mother.

As of right now I'm simply attempting to become a better person especially in the face of my normal stress and anxiety factors. I feel very dualistic in my health as I appear very outwardly well whereas I believe my mental health had begun to suffer in the past due to my own neglect. It recently began to appear in the form of anxiety attacks but I am now working to keep my stress low by pre-planning and getting enough sleep.
