When I am feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and anxious I find it helpful to do these ten things:

1. Unplug for a while (yes, get off my computer and phone!)

2. Sit outside and take in the sights and sounds of the natural world all around me.

3. Read something that spiritually nourishes me.

4. Read something for pure relaxation (a women’s health or yoga magazine for example).

5. Write in my journal.

6. Draw.

7. Take a walk.

8. Stretch

9. Focus on my blessings.

10. Connect with loved ones and friends.

What can you do to relax right now?

Have a blessed day,

Debra
