Stop for a moment and... do nothing
"Do nothing—I mean nothing," says health, fitness, and nutrition expert Joey Thurman. "Turn off all of your devices, phone, TV, and anything that can distract you. Now, close your eyes and simply focus on your breath, how your body feels, are you happy, are you sad? Open up your eyes after a few minutes. Guess what? You just mediated, reduced stress, and helped your mindset."
