Drink Camomile If you are used to going for that big caffeine hit in the morning, be aware that as well as energising, it can also build stress. So, try different hot drinks without tea. An infusion of camomile is relaxing, while nettle and ginger can bring you focus. Experiment. And remember, a hot drink in itself can be relaxing!
by every rub, how will you be polished? Rumi
The human spirit is
stronger than anything that can happen to it. George C. Scott
We often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over-
reacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too personally. Dalai Lama

Learn to meditate A general setting of calmness can be attained by learning the art of mindfulness and meditation. Meditation teaches the brain to work at a much slower more health-giving cycle and shows you how to dispel tensions and worries that seemed very important. It is a powerful way to get the stress out of your life and take charge once more.

Breathe better Many people breathe from the top of their rib cage rather than deep down from the diaphragm. Shallow breathing emulates panic breathing - so taking charge of your breathing can calm your body. Once you've learned diaphragm breathing, then stand, stretch, take a deep breath and hold for a count of three. Then let the breath go at the same time as releasing the stretch. Do this three times throughout the morning and three times in the afternoon. It's really effective.
