From the Publisher
Start relieving stress today with these and many other exercises:
Keep Your Gratitude List Handy
Keep an ongoing list of things you are grateful for and things that make you happy. Place this list somewhere you can easily access it. Perhaps you will keep it on a notepad that you carry around with you or electronically on your smartphone or tablet. Then, when you are feeling down or stressed out and want to shift your mindset, look at your list for a helpful reminder of what makes you feel grateful and happy.
Calm the Mind with Coloring and Doodling
You don’t have to be an artist to reap the benefits of coloring and doodling. Engaging in art projects has been found to reduce anxiety in college students and to induce emotional relaxation in people undergoing medical treatment, such as those with coronary artery disease. Drawing has even been shown to reduce the perception of physical pain, likely by diverting attention from the painful stimulus. So pick up some colored pencils, crayons, or markers, or simply doodle with a pen.
Tea for Relaxation and Stress Relief
Across cultures, tea has long been used as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments, including stress. The experience of making, sipping, and sharing tea can be a pleasant and relaxing experience in and of itself. But there are also particular types of tea that contain compounds that can reduce your stress on a biochemical level. Other teas can help relieve some of the ailments associated with chronic stress, like an upset stomach or nausea.

Very useful
The exercises the author gives are easy and quick to do (they really do take five minutes!). Some standard suggestions and some new (to me). Includes, among other things, mental and physical exercises to do to relieve stress and focus thinking. Highly recommend.

Good Read
Itâs the simple things. Many of the suggestions contained in the book are things that I have heard before, but sometimes you need a reminder to take a little time and look at the small things instead of the big picture. This book helps you to do that. The organization of the book is spot on and the suggestions for ideas to help relieve and deal with stress are good. There are also quite a few resources contained within the book from apps to other books and even podcasts. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book.
