24. Breath slow & deep. Calm
your mind. Count your
breaths. See how few
breaths you can take within
a min.
(By the way holding your breath is cheating)

25. Spend 30 min “reliving” or
“visualizing” your day. Write in
a journal for 30 min. Pray to
God and let go of your worries
to him. Talk with your spouse
or sleeping partner about your
day.
(If you aren’t religious find some “higher
power” to speak to: Mother Nature, Zen,
Karma, etc.)

26. Spend at least 10 min. a
day exercising. This can be
as simple as a 10 min.
walk. When Fitness is in
your life your body’s
chemicals are more
balanced.
