Feeling Overwhelmed?

I make a weekly list of what needs to get done and chip away at it. Each task that I can draw a black line through, the better I feel. Ever find your self waking up in the middle of the night with the weight of the world on your shoulders? Concentrate on your breathing. Slow, deep breathing is a powerful anti-stress technique. When you bring air down into the lower portion of the lungs, where the oxygen exchange is most efficient, heart rate slows, blood pressure decreases, muscles relax, anxiety eases and the mind calms.

  3. Enjoy the gift of nature. Simply taking a 20 minute meditative walk is a powerful way to bring the mind and body into sync. Take along a collection of soothing music and you have got the making of a transformative experience. Works for me every time!

  4. Great idea, Anonymous. Usually when I take my walk, I listen to crazy pumped up music. Next time I'll put on my massage music.
