"Failure to maintain focus can leave the mind lost in repeating loops of chronic anxiety… The power to disengage our attention from one thing and move it to another is essential for well-being." ~ Daniel Goleman, "Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence"

10.Smile

This may sound too simple, but it isn't. When was the last you stop during your day and smiled at nothing in particular? Studies have proven that a smile changes our body chemistry and helps relieve stress. So, get out there and smile. Smile at yourself, smile at others, smile for no reason at all.

9.Celebrate your little achievements during the day

Our days are filled with tasks that we complete and then move on the next one. It can very robotic. To appreciate what you have done take a few moments to celebrate completing a task. This can be as simple as stopping and saying, "Yahoo, job well done" or giving yourself a little reward. My reward is a 5 minute stretch or break.

8.Get in touch with your senses

When you are eating something pay close attention to the texture, taste, shape, of the food you have in your mouth. If you walking in Nature pay close attention to all the smell that come to you. Right now stop reading and pick up something and feel its texture and shape and warmth. Next time you hear a new song, stop and listen intently to the words and rhythms. We take our senses for granted. Isn't it time to pay attention to the gifts they bring us?

7.Let your mind wander

At various times during the day stop what you are doing and let your mind wander. If you are in an office without windows let your mind rest on something that gives you great joy. Imagine it and then let yourself feel the happy sensations in your body. If you have a window to look out, let your gaze go where it wants to. When your gaze stops take note of what you are looking at. Try not to think, but don't worry if you do. When you return to your task you will feel more relaxed.

6.Hit the reset

You started your day with great intention and all was going well, then a series of things happen that disrupt your calm feeling. No problem! As soon as you notice that your day is falling apart you can reset the tone. Take a few deep breathes restate your intention. Take a few moments for the intention to settle and then you can resume what you were doing with you calm restored.
