If You Can Do Only One Thing This Month
Mind: When you see that cement ball of stress swingin' your way, take a slow deep breath. Just one breath. Try it right now. Feels pretty good doesn't it? When you breathe that way, you actually alter the levels and ratios of brain chemicals that calm you. Inhale for a count of three and exhale for a count of four. Enjoy that exhalation. In with the good, out with the bad. You're just a breath away from less stress!

Mouth: Track what goes into your mouth. Study after study shows that the key to reducing what goes in is to write down what you're consuming. Otherwise, especially if you are a stress overeater, you will eat more than you realize.
Muscle: Commit to 30 minutes of movement on a daily basis-you can find ½ hour. Just do it! Think of it as a crucial stress strategy.
