TRY IT

Every morning and

evening, set a timer for

five minutes. Sit down

andwriteinanotebook

whatever comes to

mind. Don’t judge it.

GABBY’S SECRET FOR:

Starting

and ending

your day

“I recommend free

writing in the

morning and the

evening as a type of

mental shower,”

says Bernstein.

“Evenifyou’rejust

makingalistofall

the things you have

to do, putting your

pen to paper gets it

out of your head. It

puts you in this

place of release.”

We consulted the science

• and some very put-
  together people – about
  how to chill out. Try one of
  these13tipseachday,
  and see how it all adds up.

Create a new

routine

“Iusedtowakeupand

immediately plug into email

• a vortex of never-ending,
  energy-sucking messages,”
  says Darlene Fiske, owner
  of a public-relations firm.
  “NowIeaseintomydayby
  sipping cofee and watching
  [a morning show].”
  2. SWITCH UP YOUR SCREEN SAVER

STUDY IN THEINTERNATIONAL

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL

RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH

FOUND THAT LOOKING AT PHOTOS

OF GREEN SPACES HELPED STRESS

CASES TO RELAX.
