Less-Stress Holiday Launch

Step 1:   Wake up 5 minutes earlier and visualize your day, from beginning to end, unfolding exactly as you would like it to.

Step 2:  Choose a touch-stone and place it in your pocket or in a place that you will see it often.  When you see it or touch it, use this as an opportunity to ground yourself in the present moment.   Stop your mind from its crazy-multi-tasking and focus in on the matter at hand.

 Step 3.   Practice 10 deep slow breaths counting 4 seconds in, 8 seconds hold, and 8 seconds out. You can do this exercise watching TV, walking the dog, or showering.  Breathing in this manner will release both toxins and stress that have accumulated in your body.

Use these techniques to launch yourself into less-stress on a daily basis!
