Stress-Less

"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." –Unknown

Stress is just a part of life. But like many of us, I can let it get the best of me. There are some pretty great tools though that I've added to my toolbox to help deal with stress. Whenever things get overwhelming, I turn to these. A reminder for me and perhaps a new idea or two for you...namaste!

• Do yoga (Yoga with Adriene is great)
• Take a bath
• Read
• Meditate (I love the Calm app on my phone)
• Go for a walk
• Pet a dog or cat (proven time and again with multiple studies)
• Be outside
• Nap (now you can even nap at the gym)
• Talk with a friend
• Enjoy art (check out these zen lungplant sculptures)
