Three Deep Breaths
Changing the way we breathe can change the way we feel. A few deep breaths can be used anytime as a pause button for stress.
Permission to Rest
When we rest, we become better at problem solving and evaluating goals. Taking short breaks also improves our ability to focus.
The Serenity Prayer
The Serenity Prayer was written by Reinhold Niebuhr in a time of war to address inconsolable pain, loss and guilt.
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Exploding Stool
Humour, even a juvenile pun, can activate the brain to produce dopamine and other endorphins that can release stress, bolster the immune system and improve general well-being.
