Get Centered
Find balance with this simple meditation. Before starting your day, sit comfortably in a quiet place. Keeping your spine straight and chest back, close your eyes and relax your shoulders and chest muscles. Inhale through your nose (mouth closed), breathing through your diaphragm and expanding your abdomen, for a count of four. Now exhale slowly through your nose, relaxing your diaphragm and allowing your stomach to fall, for a count of six. Focus on the sound your breath makes as it enters and leaves your body. Continue for three to four minutes. 

Stress Strategy
Start a stress log. Carry a notebook, jotting down events that get your blood boiling. Simply write what happened and how you reacted. Each night, circle the three most stressful moments. Do this consistently, and you'll see patterns -- ones you'll better address with the benefit of self-awareness.
