1. Drink more water: 10 to 12 glasses daily helps you digest food, detoxify & promotes healthy cell function.
2. Down-shift the caffeine: too much caffeine stresses your adrenal glands & disrupts healthy hormonal balance.
3. Eat breakfast! Your body needs protein in the morning: real oatmeal, eggs, or a fruit & yoghurt smoothie will give you some traction for the day.

6. Read more, watch less: a good book keeps your brain active and allows you to unwind in a way the television can’t!
7. Take a moment to say thank you: 60 seconds to reflect on our blessings can turn a bad day into a good one.
8. Use acu-pressure to revitalize! Apply light pressure to the space between your eyes for 10 seconds.
9. Give your feet a break: roll a tennis ball under your bare foot for a few moments to ease kinks & promote healthy blood flow.
10. If all else fails, squeeze a stress ball: put your focus on a gentle, rhythmic breath while squeezing a soft ball for 60 seconds, then repeat with the other hand. It releases tension & allows you to re-focus.
It’s your day, after all – make it as pleasant as you can!
