Nourish Your Body

of the stress hormone (cortisol) which slows the metabolism and inhibits
healthy organ function. Susan Albers-Psy.d., Eating Mindfully
Eat Mindfully
This can help to avoid heartburn,
bloating and indigestion.
Reduce Caffeine
This stimulant to the central
nervous system increases irritability and insomnia.
Be Active at Least 30 Minutes a Day
Physical activity relaxes and
energizes your body. No time? Just 10 minutes, 3 times a day will do. Dr. David

Breathe
Breathe
Taking these opportunities while
you’re walking from your car to the door, or up the stairs, to take some deep
breaths with a positive intention to feel calm and peace gives perspective and
increase your tolerance for others and compassion for self and others. Dr. J Dispenza,
Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself
Think Positively
This, as all of the above, requires
practice. You will be more apt to bring a positive thought to your mind as your
patterns shift. Dr. Bruce Lipton, The
Biology of Belief

ability to manage stress while bringing awareness to our intentions.

however, coming from a more mindful, calm and accepting place is a worthwhile
journey.
