Banish winter blues

Stressed now that the year is heating up (while still be cold)?  You are not alone. 
Take 5 minutes and try these techniques to improve the next hour:

Close your eyes, breathe in deeply, and imagine your entire torso filling up with air.  Go ahead, try it.

Repeat 3x.

Stretch with your arms in three directions – overhead (stretch!), behind (stretch!), and in front (stretch!).

If you are seated, take a 2 minute walk – around your floor, your office, your home, your classroom – wherever you might find yourself!

While you are walking, think of something you want to tackle in the next half-hour, and when you return, you will likely feel more motivated to tackle it – without feeling so much of the stress!
