Stress,
from page 7B
utes
One of the biggest
culprits of stress today
is technology. When
you’re at home, set your
phone on airplane mode,
turn off the radio or TV,
close the laptop - and just
shut your eyes. Breathe
deeply, in through the
nose and out through the
mouth, at least five times.
Repeat a word or phrase
in your mind like “Re
lax,” “Calm” or “Breathe
in, breathe out.” When
you’re ready, slowly
re-acclimate to your sur
roundings and gently get
back to your busy day.
The one-minute breath
For just a minute,
commit to practicing
this breathing technique
to quiet your mind and
restore energy.
* Breathe in for 5 sec
onds.
* Flold your breath for 5
seconds.
* Release the breath for
5 seconds.
* Flold for 5 seconds.
Repeat just long enough
to feel yourself become
calmer.
Peace begins with you
When you’re standing
in a long line, stuck in a
meeting or even during
a stressful argument, try
this Kundalini meditation
technique to help you
stay centered even when
you’re feeling frazzled.
* Gently press the
thumb of one hand
against that hand’s index
finger, middle finger, ring
finger, then pinkie finger.
* When you touch
your index finger to your
thumb, say to yourself,
“Peace.”
* When you touch your
middle finger, say to
yourself, “Begins.”
* When you touch your
ring finger, say to your
self, “With.”
* When you touch your
pinkie finger to your
thumb, says to yourself,
“Me.”
* Breathe deeply as you
think each word, and go
as slowly or as quickly as
you like.
Peace is in your pulse
For meditation begin
ners, this practice can
help improve concentra
tion and bring calm.
* Sit comfortably cross-
legged on the floor.
* Close your eyes and
focus on the space be
tween your eyebrows.
* Place the four fingers
of your right hand on
your left wrist and feel
your pulse.

Walk it out
When you’re feeling
stressed, you feel discon
nected from your body as
well as the outside world.
You can add meditation
to your walking, even if
you’re just going through
the grocery store or from
your car to your office.
If you can get outside,
just being outdoors can
improve your mood. Be-

the sun and the tendency
to breathe more deeply
when you’re around fresh
air, trees or flowers, just
getting outside for a little
while can both relax and
energize you.
* Take a deep breath
with every step or two.
* Feel your feet and
focus on being more
grounded with every step.

Moms have a lot on
their plate, so worrying
about lingering odors in
the home (whether they’re
from the kids’ sweaty
sports equipment, a wet
dog or last night’s dinner)
shouldn’t add to their
stress. Air Wick Pure
Automatic Spray provides
continuous odor neutral
ization from common
household odors found in
living rooms, bathrooms,
kitchens, bedrooms,
hallways and offices, so
she can check that stress
right off her to-do list
and make more time for
herself. Mom can enjoy
the scents of Pure Ocean
Breeze, Lavender &
Chamomile, Summer De
lights and Sparkling Cit
rus filling every corner of
the home with freshness
while she breathes deeply
and relaxes.
