Here's a meditation I call on a lot in my life, called The Quickie (because it's fast, ladies…). Here's how to do it: Center yourself, either feeling your feet on the ground if you're standing, or sitting comfortably. You can do this with your eyes open or closed. Now breath in deeply through your nose for a count of 4 while saying to yourself "I AM." Breathe out deeply through your mouth for a count of 6 while saying to yourself "At Peace." Take several deep breaths this way. Rinse and repeat whenever needed. Keep a Worry Journal A worry journal is a place where you do just that – journal about your worries. It's an amazingly simple and effective tool, especially for worries that pop up at night when you're falling asleep, or if you wake up in the middle of the night and worries keep you from going back to sleep. Here's how it works: • Purchase a cheap spiral bound notebook. • 30 minutes before bed (or whenever you feel worried) you find a quiet place in your house that is NOT your bed, and you write down all your worries. Seriously, everything on your mind that's plaguing or annoying you. No need to be a great writer, use bullet points if you need to. Then put away the notebook. • Next do a Quickie Meditation, and/or take a shower to rinse away the stress. • Rinse and repeat each night before bed, plus or minus the shower. Note that writing down worries is scientifically proven to help reduce them. Talk it Out Talking with another woman can ease your worries.
