Reduce Stress

It is well-known that a low level of stress is the key to a happier mind and healthier body. Meditation and proper breathing can help lower stress by clearing the mind and calming the body. This leads to a healthy heart and blood pressure. Meditation allows you to take a break from the world around you and keep things in perspective.

So take that Me Minute™

Close your eyes

Take a deep breath

Hold it for as long it is comfortable

Exhale slowly

Feel your shoulders relaxing, the energy around you change.

Congratulations, now continue to do this several times a day.
