Relax Relate Release - WEEK 5: Task 21

Theme: Who's in Control?

RELAX RELATE RELEASE

Today, take 5 minutes to center yourself. Sit up straight in your chair, close your eyes and take 5 deep breaths in and out. Try to count to 10 as you inhale and exhale. Clear your mind and think about relaxing and releasing. Forget about your drama, deadlines, kids, relationship, boss, finances, or anything that may be stressing you out right now. The only important thing is breathing and where you are right now. Do this exercise at least 3 times today. Pretty easy task, but make sure you get the full experience of relaxing, relating and releasing everything for those 5 minutes.
