Learn to pace yourself

Determine what makes you happy and give yourself what you need. Pay attention to the parts of your life that are most important. Create daily practices that nurture your ability to build energy levels--take breaks, eat healthy snacks, listen to music, and focus on the present and what's within your ability to control.

Take three actions this week to pace yourself.  Email me at Diane@LifeAccelerated.com to share with me personally what has worked for you. I'd love to hear about your success!

Deep breathing can help you relax

Deep breathing is a good way to relax. Try it a couple of times every day. Here’s how to do it:

1. Sit in a chair or lie down.

2. Rest your hands on your abdomen.

3. Slowly count to four and inhale through your nose. Feel your abdomen rise. Hold it for a second.

4. Slowly count to four as you exhale through your mouth. Your abdomen will slowly fall.

5. Repeat 5 to 10 times.

Lighten Up Before You Burn Out!

Stress is an unavoidable part of life for everyone.  In order to minimize stress pay attention to the cause or circumstances of stress — where you were or your physical and emotional state. Life events such as traffic, work and family increase stress. Find healthy ways to cope with stress. Recognize that stress depletes energy but your reaction to it helps you minimize the impact.
