Like everything else in life, there are certain do’s and don’ts regarding the proper care of wedding rings. Here's some tips for newly-married - and yes - "oldly"-married men to keep that ring looking good and make it last (the ring that is!).
As a married man, there is no question that you fully understand the importance of taking care of your wedding ring. Even though the tradition of a male wearing a wedding ring did not begin until the 1940s, practically every married man these days wears one. Almost all of these men have wondered at some point in time just how they should properly take care of their wedding ring. Like everything else in life, there are certain do’s and don’ts regarding the proper care of wedding rings. Consider some of these ideas.
How to Clean It Minor cleaning of your wedding ring is a fairly simple process. If your ring has dirt on it, Aspiring Gentlemen says that all you have to do is simply get some warm water and some soap and soak it in this solution for at least 30 minutes. After that, remove the ring and let it air dry. If the ring has embedded tarnish or rough scratches, it should be professionally cleaned by a jeweler. If the ring has lost some of its stones, it will also need professional assistance to get the prongs back in. Finally, when it comes to polishing your wedding ring, you should, first of all, consider the type of metal that it’s made of. When Not to Wear It According to Enso Rings, there are definitely times when you should take your ring off. This is especially true for cleaning, physical activities, or sports. These would include such occasions as doing the dishes, performing heavy yard work, working with intense machinery or playing in a highly competitive sport or working out. This is because an injury to your wedding ring finger can cause you to have a condition known as ring avulsion. This is where not only is your finger damaged, but your ring breaks off and then cuts into your finger. There are even times where finger trauma can be so severe that people lose their entire finger. Avoid Water Activities When you do water activities with your ring on, it can lead to your hand going through a thing called vasoconstriction. MedicineNet defines vasoconstriction as the narrowing of the blood vessels that results from contraction of the muscular walls of the vessels. For example, vasoconstriction happens when your hands come into contact with cool water, causing the blood vessels in your hands to contract. This results in your hands and fingers shrinking enough for your ring to become loose—or slip off entirely. Do yourself a favor and put your ring in a safe place before going fishing, boating, river rafting, or any other water activity. Of course, there are many other things to keep in mind when it comes to the proper care of a male wedding ring. However, these tips are a good start and you can always read up for more suggestions.

Life can be a series of challenges that sometimes feel overwhelming. When life throws you one curveball after another, it's important to be equipped with the tools and knowledge necessary to set your mind on a healthy path. Here are three activities that you can do to recenter yourself and reduce the effects of stress.
Meditation Regular meditation can help you to lower your blood pressure, calm your mind and achieve a better feeling of general well-being. Meditation can also help to relieve stress, anxiety and a host of other issues. Meditation Oasis describe how as the stress and tension leave your muscles, the body receives the message that it's time to reset itself. Once you get into the habit of practicing meditation, it will help you to center your life and priorities. The deep, cleansing breaths associated with mindful meditation are grounding ways to start and finish every day. Aromatherapy Yoga Yoga and aromatherapy work hand in hand to recenter you and your life. In the morning, practicing sun salutations in a room infused with refreshing scents, like grapefruit and orange, will start your day off right. Aromatherapy works by activating sensors in your brain to produce the feel-good serotonin that naturally improves your mood and motivates you to be more productive. doTERRA suggests that aromatherapy yoga relaxes you, calms your mind and body, and prepares you for meditation. After a tough day, the relaxing poses and breathing exercises of yoga, combined with soothing scents, like lavender, will calm tense muscles and clear the mind. Aromatherapy yoga can also help to regulate sleep patterns, which contributes to a more positive outlook on life. Walking A daily brisk walk can be the best medicine that you can provide your body when you're looking to relieve stress. The endorphins that are delivered through exercise provide an immediate boost to your mood. The physical act of walking increases cardiovascular fitness, strengthens bones and improves endurance levels. Walking can also be a meditative experience if done properly. Be sure to practice deep and intentional breathing as you walk so that your emotional health also benefits from the exercise. Taking the time to practice these three activities regularly will help you to be proactive about taking care of your mental and emotional well-being. The power of these activities is exponential when they all become part of your routine. By taking care of yourself, you can reset, recenter and regain control of your life
