Float Your Worries Away
BY KIRSTEN HARRELL, PSY.D.
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION
Today's Take-a-Break
Breathe deeply and imagine placing all of your stress and worries in a balloon. Make sure that all of the stress and worry energy goes into the balloon. Then imagine sending this balloon up to the Universe where that energy will be transformed. |

Take a moment in the middle of the day when you are feeling stressed to do this Take-a-Break so you can relax and be rejuvenated. If you take a few minutes a couple of times a day to do this you will find you are more productive and creative. You will work more effectively and efficiently, making the small time commitment well worth it. So stop what you are doing and close your eyes. [Well, okay, you're right. Read the Take-a-Break and then close your eyes and do what it suggests.]
Now, notice how much lighter you feel. And as you open your eyes you will be ready to concentrate again.
