How to De-stress…Even if it’s for 5 minutes!

So many of my new clients are expressing their concerns about the mounting stress from their jobs and having to juggle the responsibility of caring for their children and/or parents, maintaining a healthy relationship with their spouse, etc.

Somewhere in your busy day is an extra 5 minutes for yourself – the ride to and fro work, school, smoke break (or what one client takes, a ‘non-smoke’ smoke break), the kids’ extracurricular activities, or…THE BATHROOM! During that time, take ownership of that time and do something special for yourself!

Find your gift and/or a hobby that will help you reduce the stress in your life, such as:

§  Mediation or just
sitting quietly

§  Listening to your
favorite song

§  Reading

§  Going for a walk

§  Eating your
favorite dessert

§  Calling a good friend
or loved one

What are your methods of relaxation?
