Here is a handy hint to kick the stress out of your day.

Stress KILLS!!!
I can not stress this more (pun intended)

We live in a world that is getting more and more stressed. The stresses of working longer and harder. The stress of trying to earn more and more money to pay for the ever increasing expenses of today's world. Family and relationship break-ups. Worries about international terrorism.....stress, stress, stress......

If your sick of stress (and stress cause a lot of sickness) then here is a little gift from me to you.

The One Minute Meditation

Find somewhere peaceful and quiet. You might want to sit under a tree or sit in your favourite couch. Close your eyes if you want.
Tell yourself this: “For the next one minute, I am not going to worry about anything and I am not going be bothered by anything.”
Try to be free of all inner and outer conflicts for one minute. Try not to think about any worries, pressures, stress or pains. Give yourself this one minute as a holiday gift!
This is a powerful intervention. Can you be free from inner conflict for one minute? See what hinders your attitude to be worry free for one minute. If you can be peaceful and free from anxiety for one minute then you can do it for two minutes and then more.
