My Top 5 Heartfelt Practices for Reducing Stress (Significantly!)

#1 Forgive.

"Forgiving doesn't mean not being angry with yourself, but rather it means not hating yourself. "

#2 Put yourself first.

If you don't put yourself first,
and start practicing daily self-care - meditation, prayer, exercise -
there simply won't be
anything left of you to give to those you love.

#3 Be Grateful.

It's not just a trend.
Gratitude strengthens our emotions, increases self-esteem and overall makes us healthier, happier human beings.

#4 Mindfulness

Mindfulness benefits everything about us -- our mental, physical and emotional well-being.
Acceptance of your personal experience makes it easier to accept whatever comes your way during the rest of the day.

#5 Compassion

Instead of mercilessly judging and criticizing yourself, self-compassion means you are kind and understanding when confronted with personal failings – after all, who ever said you were supposed to be perfect?#5 Compassion

Make this your day.
