10 ways to streamline your life
Tidy your desk
Distracted by the pile of papers to your left and lunch leftovers to your right?
Bogged down by busy work schedules it’s easy to let clutter creep up.
According to a recent study, we spend 35.7 million days a year looking for missing paperwork – the equivalent of 1.5 days per worker. Plus, almost one in 10 people have lost a new client, customer or a contract as a result of the state of their workspace. Eek! Take 10 minutes to tidy up at the end of the day for a happier work life.
Go digital
The idea of swapping your beautiful notebooks and diaries for their electronic cousins may not appeal, but going digital is the way forward. Using the diary on your phone, accessing your bank statements online and keeping notes on your smartphone is a great start. ‘Send yourself electronic reminders so you can keep on top of things every day,’ tips life coach Louise Presley-Turner (thegameoflife.co.uk). ‘I particularly like the HiFutureSelf app (free, for iPhone).’
Cut the crap
Physical mess can leave your mind cluttered – a massive seven in 10 adults get stressed out about by mess, according to a report commissioned by laundry brand Ariel. ‘A clear house equals a clear mind,’ agrees Louise.
‘When we are constantly dealing with mess, it drains our energy.’ Electrical items you no longer use? Unwanted Christmas presents? Sell them on eBay and make a quick buck!
Dry your shoulder
Being an agony aunt is great for your friends, but it can drag you down if you’re always providing a shoulder to cry on. ‘We all have what I call “energy vampires” in our life,’ says Louise. ‘As much as we want to be a good friend, sister or daughter, but it’s important that we don’t allow other people to stress us out. You don’t have to cut people out of your life, but ensure you also spend time with those who lift your spirits and make you feel good.’
Power down
The ability to check emails, Twitter and Facebook at any moment can leave your brain feeling frazzled – especially if you’re checking in before bed. Research from the Lighting Research Center in New York showed that using a tablet (set to its maximum brightness) for two hours or more can affect melatonin. This important hormone tells your body when it’s time to go to sleep, so messing with it can make it much harder to nod off. Give your brain some time to switch off from the electronic world and you’ll feel more relaxed.
Blitz the boring stuff
Everyone loves a to-do list, right? They’re one of the best ways to get those pesky errands off your desk and out of your life. Need to pay the energy bills? Sort out your insurance? Pay the car tax? So far, so boring. Write a list of all those niggling tasks and assign yourself one or two to do every lunchtime to clear the backlog.
Double up
Trying to fit in regular workouts, drinks with mates, family time and extra projects at work can leave life feeling a little messy and leave you feeling overwhelmed. Save yourself some time by combining commitments. Catch up with your mates on a run around the park and grab a quick coffee afterwards; write emails on your commute; or cycle or run to the office to get your exercise done.
Learn to prioritise
Technology has made multitasking an easy feat, but it can mean we take on too much – both at work and play. ‘Over-committing, whether socially or professionally, can eventually lead to burnout if you’re not careful,’ says Louise. ‘Prioritising creates calmness and space in your life so that you can focus your energy on the things that really matter. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, write down the five most important activities that need your attention right away. Focus your energy on these and don’t allow yourself to get distracted.’
Clear the rails
Wading through old jumpers and dresses you’ve never even worn to get to the stuff you wear every day is tiring! Clear out your wardrobe – and be brutal. Still hanging onto that LBD with the broken zip? If you haven’t worn it in the last year – and if you’re not going to fix any defects – it has to go! Grab a big bag and take it all up to the local charity shop. You can declutter your wardrobe and be a do-gooder in one fell swoop.
Read smart
At WF we love books! Dog-eared, coffee-stained or shedding pages – we can’t bear to part with them, but they don’t half take up a lot of room. Consolidate your library in electronic form with a Kindle. We’re relatively new converts to the e-reading trend, but even we can appreciate the fact it’ll save us buying that second bookshelf. Plus, the super-light reader means you can take a whole library on your hols!

3 Things Healthy Women Do Before Stepping In the Shower
By Kori Crosson
They Take Out Their Contacts
Water and contact lenses should never mix, and that includes your tap water. Because soft contact lenses are permeable, contaminants found in water can latch onto the lens and cause serious eye infections. For instance, Acanthamoeba is an amoeba commonly found in city water, and it can sometimes cause a sight-threatening infection. With 85 percent of all nationally reported cases occurring in contact lens wearers, ophthalmologist and executive director of the educational organization the Gas Permeable Lens Institute, Edward Bennett, OD, encourages patients to always remove lenses before swimming or bathing. "While rare, the infection does progress quickly and, in serious cases, can require corneal transplants. Most important is to never actually rinse your lenses with water." Bottom line: Try not to wear your lenses in the shower, and always clean them using contact solution.
They Leave Their Problems at the Door
If you've ever had a moment of clarity while in the shower, you're not alone. In a 2012 study conducted at the University of California, Santa Barbara, participants who performed undemanding activities that allowed their mind to wander experienced a significant increase in creative problem-solving abilities. The relaxing environment and familiar routine of a shower is a great opportunity to let your mind work on autopilot. Demanding activities, like solving a word or math problem, didn't have the same effect, so put aside thoughts of specific worries, problems or annoyances as you're getting ready to hop in the shower.
They Brush Their Hair
You probably know you shouldn't brush wet hair, but here's something you might not have realized: Not only is hair weaker and more prone to damage when wet, but we actually tend to be rougher on it. "Water gives hair the ability to stretch more, so you don't notice the tension," Bill Schrlau, a stylist at Adam Broderick Salon & Spa in Connecticut and the former national hair educator for Wella, explains. Tangles in dry hair, on the other hand, can be eye-wateringly painful, which causes most of us to be gentler. If you're prone to relentless snarls that can only be battled with a lot of conditioner, Schrlau says your best option is "brush from the bottom up to catch tangles at their source, and use a very wide-tooth comb."

8 Reasons Why Spending Time Alone Is Actually Really Good For You
Alone time, of course, is different than loneliness, which carries some health risks, including increased risk of heart disease and depression. But carving out some "me time," on the other hand, is a pretty awesome idea. Here's why:
You'll have just as much fun.
Think you'll have a terrible time at the movies alone? That's probably not the case. In fact, you'll have an equally good time partaking in fun activities on your own as you would if you were doing them with other people, according to a study conducted by business professors Rebecca Ratner of the University of Maryland and Rebecca Hamilton of Georgetown University. The not-so-fun part comes in when you're thinking about how others are perceiving your aloneness and worrying that they simply think you have no one to hang out with.
"[The research] provides empirical support for a key premise of our investigation: consumers who forego hedonic activities alone are missing out on opportunities for rewarding experiences," the researchers wrote, according to Science Of Us.
Being alone will make you more creative ...
If you're a fan of brainstorming with others, you might want to rethink that. When coming up with ideas and strategies, research shows that people come up with their best material on their own.
“Decades of research have consistently shown that brainstorming groups think of far fewer ideas than the same number of people who work alone and later pool their ideas," Keith Sawyer, a psychologist at Washington University in St. Louis said, according to The Washington Post.
... And probably make you work harder.
Remember group projects in school? There was always someone who wasn't pulling their weight, and that's because of the concept of "social loafing" or the assumption that less effort has to be exerted because more than one person is involved. Taking on a task alone is probably the best way to get it done quickly and efficiently.
If you're an introvert, alone time is key to your happiness.
It's no secret that introverts interact differently with the world -- and one of the most important things to introverts is their solo time.
"Think of each of us as having a cup of energy available," HuffPost blogger Kate Bartolotta explained. "For introverts, most social interactions take a little out of that cup instead of filling it the way it does for extroverts. Most of us like it. We're happy to give, and love to see you. When the cup is empty though, we need some time to refuel.”
Taking on activities on your own can help you meet new people.
If you've been feeling a little lonely lately, try taking on one of your favorite activities on your own. Not only will you have fun, but you might meet someone who shares your interests.
While traveling alone, for example, Ratner said she made social connections easily. “I found myself talking to people more alone than I normally would traveling with other people, when you’re more insulated,” she said, according to Science Of Us.
Spending time alone can help with depression, especially in teens
A 1997 study found that alone time was key for teens. “Adolescents … who spent an intermediate amount of their time alone were better adjusted than those who spent little or a great deal of time alone,” explained the study, authored by emotional development expert Reed W. Larson.
It helps clear your mind.
Our brains need to rest and recharge in order to function as well as we want them to. So even if you're not an introvert, alone time is still important for processing and reflecting.
"Constantly being 'on' doesn't give your brain a chance to rest and replenish itself," Sherrie Bourg Carter, Psy.D. wrote in Psychology Today. "Being by yourself with no distractions gives you the chance to clear your mind, focus, and think more clearly. It's an opportunity to revitalize your mind and body at the same time."
You get to do what you actually want to do.
If your friend or partner wants to spend the day watching football and you'd rather spend it on a hike, choosing the solo path will probably end up being a lot more fun for you. Similarly, if you decide to take an entire day for yourself, you get to spend that day doing exactly what you want to do. Doesn't sound too shabby, does it?

Power up your positivity
‘Unlock optimism by focusing on what you do have rather than focusing on what you don’t – and write a positivity list to gain clarity’
A detox is as much a physical journey as it is psychological. Just as toxins and other nasties are flushed away from your body, unhappy thoughts can be flushed away, too. We often run our lives on autopilot, unaware of the effects of negative emotions until we’re close to breaking point. Sometimes we may not even realise we’re at breaking point, but if you’re struggling to get out of bed, you’ve lost your focus at work or you can’t motivate yourself to see friends or family, then a mind detox to help you focus on the positives could be just what you need.
Research by Yale University reveals that optimists live longer than pessimists, while another study published in Circulation, a journal of the American Heart Association, found that being optimistic lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease. But while putting on a happy face through tough times can have some great long-term benefits, looking on the bright side of life is not always as easy as it sounds.
‘Unfortunately we all have a negativity bias. It's a common enemy that all human beings share, but by reframing experiences and learning lessons from hardships you can change your mindset for the better,’ says Cheryl Rickman, author of The Flourish Handbook and creator of The 30 Day Flourish Challenge (flourishchallenge.com). Here, our experts round up their top ways to find inner peace.
Makeover your mindset
Brighten up your attitude to life and achieve everything you want:
1. Live in the present
Holding on to the past will only leave you with regrets and resentment. ‘Just as you would never consider driving a car by only looking in the rear-view mirror, you need to realise that only focusing on the past will severely challenge your journey towards a happier future,’ says life and wellness coach Sloan Sheridan Williams (sloansw.com). It’s high time we looked at the silver lining if we want to boost happiness. ‘Avoid negativity by shifting your focus on to the things you have now that you’re grateful for and make plans for the future that inspire you to be the best version of yourself,’ adds Sloan.
2. Go with your gut
Your gut and your brain are inextricably linked when it comes to positive thoughts and emotions; in fact, 95 per cent of the body’s happiness-boosting serotonin is located here. ‘The chemical serotonin is manufactured by the nerve cells in the gut, and this prevents depression, regulates sleep, appetite and body temperature,’ says health and wellbeing expert Chris James (chrisjamesmindbody.com). That’s one reason why it’s essential to try to keep digestive health at its peak. Eating probiotic and prebiotic-rich foods like natural yoghurt, oats and asparagus will help to maintain the healthy bacteria in your gut while having a knock-on effect on your mood.
3. Lower your expectations
Being realistic is key to fulfilment. ‘If you feel frustrated all the time because your expectations are never satisfied in your work, your relationships or life in general, it is time to examine your wants and needs and figure out if your approach to life is really going to work for you,’ says Sloan. Frustration is an alarm call telling you to change how you do things, be that changing your beliefs or changing your circumstances. ‘A useful approach is to lower your expectations while raising your standards. This reduces the effect of outside influences, but increases your self-worth and determination,’ she adds.
4. Unplug from the technological smug
Most of us live in a bubble of technology. We’re forever tweeting, texting or emailing, which, over time, clutters up our minds and sends our stress levels soaring. So it’s time for a techno-detox to help reconnect with the real world. ‘Turn off electronics and power switches in the bedroom, along with Wi-Fi routers during spare time and in the evening. See how much time opens up for you and how you feel without being on call 24/7,’ says Chris.
5. Be grateful
Unlock optimism by focusing on what you do have rather than focusing on what you don’t – and write a positivity list in order to gain clarity. ‘Ask yourself: what is going right for me? If your negativity bias kicks in to say “nothing, it's all going wrong”, force yourself to think about the good stuff – whether that's your health, mobility, the fact that you have great friends,’ says Cheryl.
6. Transform your thinking
We all have times when we need an emotional lift, but trying to change your mindset through positive images, messages and affirmations can also help. ‘Flood the brain with helpful thoughts and force out unhelpful ways of being. You can do this by only using positive self-talk, avoiding negative stimuli, and creating a vision board covered in inspirational images. If you start feeling negative, shift your focus by doing something extremely positive like sing your favourite happy song in your head,’ suggests Sloan. And try to naturally incorporate more exercise into your day to break the cynical cycle. ‘Studies show that just 10 minutes of walking per day can alter your mood for the better by getting endorphins flowing,’ adds Cheryl..
Happiness on a plate
Add these five foods to your diet for a cheery health upgrade
1. Salmon
The ultimate brain food, salmon is high in essential fatty acids, which help to keep cells healthy. Studies show that countries that eat a diet rich in these good fats have a lower rate of depression and other mood disorders.
2. Chocolate
There’s a good reason we chomp on chocolate when we’re feeling down: the sweet stuff contains the feel-good chemical phenylethylamine. Reach for a couple of squares of dark chocolate with 70 per cent cocoa solids (instead of milk chocolate) as it contains less sugar and more health benefits.
3. Quinoa
Need a happiness boost? Munch on quinoa. Packed with B vitamins, which help to regulate energy and stress levels, quinoa offers a quick mood lift.
4. Nut butter
Stable blood sugar levels are essential for keeping your mood in check so it’s important to fuel up properly. Protein-rich nut butter is a good dietary option, as it won’t leave you with a sugar crash an hour later. Team it with complex carbs like wholemeal toast to keep energy levels stable for a longer period.
5. Milk
Beat gloomy feelings with a glass of milk! It’s a natural source of vitamin D, which is thought to help fight depression.
5 Nutrition Concepts You Shouldn't Take At Face Value
We all know about the book and movie with “shades of grey” in the title. That phrase may conjure up certain images in your head, but it got me thinking about all the shades of grey in nutrition.
People frequently speak about food in absolutes -- this food is bad, or this diet is best. Well, it’s not that simple: Nutrition is not always so black or white.
To me, shades of grey means there’s a little bit of right and wrong. With so many of today’s food fads, popular diets and nutrition claims there’s typically a nugget of truth. Yet things get exaggerated or blown out of proportion. The reality lies somewhere in between.
Here are five shades of grey in nutrition.
1. Butter is back: Not really. While headlines and popular books are making a hero out of butter and other saturated fats (such as coconut oil and lard), that’s not exactly true. Just because something may not be as bad as previously thought, it doesn’t make it good. Much of this hero worshipping got started when a recent analysis appeared to let saturated fat off the hook when it comes to heart disease. It’s true that researchers found little differences in heart disease rates when comparing those who ate the most vs. the least saturated fat. But the results are not so clear cut. The study did not look at what else people were eating. So if eating less saturated fat means eating more refined starch and sugar, then no wonder there’s little or no improvements. However, if saturated fat is replaced with polyunsaturated fat or monounsaturated fat in the form of olive oil, nuts and other plant oils, there’s a lot of evidence that heart disease risk will be reduced. The 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee concluded that our diets are still too high in saturated fat, especially for those over age 50. There’s no need to totally ban the butter or ditch your coconut oil, but don’t buy into the idea that these fats are suddenly health foods.
2. Avoid refined grains: Not completely. While Americans eat too many refined grains (white bread, pasta and pizza crusts) and the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee recommends replacing most refined grains with whole grains, you don’t need to fully banish them from your diet. Just be choosy. Switch to whole grains when you can, but there may be times when only the white version will do -- maybe you want a slice of a crunchy baguette with dinner or to savor a hot croissant in the morning. In moderation, refined grains are not “toxic,” and you shouldn’t feel guilty when you eat them. Refined grains are typically low in fiber but are enriched with iron and B vitamins and fortified with folic acid. Look for ways to reduce refined grains, but don’t think you need to abolish them.
3. Fresh is best: Not always. Sure, it’s great to eat fresh, local and in-season fruits and vegetables. If you can pick up your produce at a farmer’s market, that’s even better. Yet, that’s not always possible. The most important thing is to eat more fruits and vegetables -- no matter what form. Frozen vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh; studies have demonstrated this time and time again. And if you tend to leave your fresh veggies a little too long in the crisper drawer, the nutrient content can plummet. So frozen vegetables could even be more nutrient-dense. If fresh fruit tends to go to waste in your house before you can eat it, there’s nothing wrong with stocking up on bags of unsweetened frozen berries, or buying cans, jars and single-serve containers of fruit packed in water or juice.
4. Only shop the perimeter of the grocery store: Not needed. You’ll often hear this advice to help steer people away from processed foods. It’s true that the produce aisle, fresh meats, dairy and other “whole foods” are typically in the outer sections of a supermarket, but there are plenty of cart-worthy options up and down the middle of the store. What about packages of whole-grain pastas, bags of brown rice or quinoa, nuts, canned beans, reduced-sodium soups, frozen vegetables and dried fruit? You won’t find these convenient, nutrient-rich items in a store’s perimeter. I think we need to give families reasonable options and make it simple and doable. If we make the ideal so lofty, it doesn’t seem attainable. I think it’s more valuable to provide ideas on how to evaluate choices in those middle aisles instead of telling people to avoid them entirely. Plus, many supermarkets are not even organized that way anymore, so the rule doesn’t always hold true.
5. Choose the “healthy” option. Not always. Many foods boast about their health credentials on the front of the package or on restaurant menus. That’s fine, just don’t let these health halos tempt you to eat larger portions, which has been documented numerous times. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that people chose larger portions of “healthy” foods because they assumed they had fewer calories than the standard version -- even though the calories were the same in the two options of coleslaw, cereal and drinks that were offered to the study participants. Previous studies have found similar results. When people saw “low fat” on a label, they ate even more because they felt less guilt.
50 Shades of Grey in Nutrition was originally published on U.S. News & World Report.

I use this as a warm up when I do back and use a weight I can handle 15 times with ease. I also sometimes superset this after face pulls.

These Celebs Show Love For Their Bodies No Matter What You Say
In an Instagram photo, Gomez addressed the trolling, writing: "I love being happy with me y'all #theresmoretolove."
Gomez joins plenty of other women in the spotlight who stay confident regardless of what people have to say about them. More and more, celebs are responding to rude comments about their bodies with the ol' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Because at the end of the day, it's all about being happy with yourself:
Zendaya loves her body. And if the rest of the world doesn't, that's fine.
I'm naturally a skinny string bean and I love it #thickasastick #imcomfortableinmyskin #okrrrrr #snapsinZformation
— Zendaya (@Zendaya) November 11, 2014Lena Dunham's worst fear came true, and she lived to tell the tale.
"You know, it gets easier and easier. My fears came true: people called me fat and hideous, and I lived," Dunham told The Guardian. "And now I keep living."
What people have to say about Mindy Kaling's body doesn't matter much to her.
"I'm not an enormous person. I don't think of myself as overweight," she told Good Housekeeping. "I definitely get hurt when people say mean things about my body. But it's not the most important thing in my life."
Hilary Duff regrets letting herself get too skinny.
"When I was 17, I weighed, like, 98 pounds. I was totally obsessed with everything I put in my mouth. I was way too skinny. Not cute," Duff told Health.com. "And my body wasn't that healthy -- my hands would cramp up a lot because I wasn't getting the nutrition I needed. That constant pressure of wanting something different than I had? I regret that. I feel like there was way too much time spent thinking about that. This is the body that I have."
Pink feels beautiful, and she wants everyone to know it.
— P!nk (@Pink) April 13, 2015Yep, that's straight from her Twitter.
Ariana Grande thinks all bodies are beautiful, including her own.
"I'm shaking my pretty, cute, petite booty next to Nicki's pretty big booty," Grande commented after people started criticizing her small frame on a video posted by Nicki Minaj. "Both are f****** awesome. How about we respect people's body boundaries and encourage each other to feel like a babe no matter how they are? That would be nice. So tired of watching everyone try to tear each other down.”
Kelly Clarkson loves the skin she's in.
"I’ve just never cared what people think. It’s more if I’m happy and I’m confident and feeling good," she said. "That’s always been my thing. And more so now, since having a family –- I don’t seek out any other acceptance."

Shelley Smith Returns To ESPN This Month Following Battle With Breast Cancer
Smith, 56, announced in October that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She proceeded to undergo months of radiation treatment, the final cycle of which reportedly ended last week.
The journalist, who joined ESPN in 1993 before being hired full-time in 1997, lost her hair as a result of the treatment. But Smith said she not only wants to embrace her new look, but have it serve as a reminder of her own strength and help raise cancer awareness.
Earlier in February, Smith shared a powerful photo on Twitter of her getting her head shaved:

— Shelley Smith (@ShelleyESPN) April 9, 2015As for her recovery, Smith said she is "basically cancer-free," but will undergo five more rounds of radiation, beginning in May, to get rid of any possible microscopic fibers that may remain. ESPN senior writer Andy Katz tweeted his support for Smith on Monday:

Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor Rebekah Gregory Crosses Finish Line 2 Years Later
"This is the day....I take my life back," Rebekah Gregory wrote on a post published to Facebook ahead of the race, along with this photo:
Two years prior, Gregory was one of many injured in the 2013 Boston bombings. After 17 surgeries to try and repair her leg failed, she chose to have it amputated late last year, according to espnW. Doctors told her last week that if she ran the full distance of the Boston Marathon, she would damage her leg. So Gregory decided she would start at mile 23, still crossing spot where she thought she was going to die in 2013.
"To remember what it felt like to be bleeding out on the pavement, wondering if I would ever see my child's smile again. In a matter of minutes, my entire world changed. Everything I knew was literally blown to pieces, and I was forced to start picking them up one by one," Gregory wrote in another Facebook post last week.
Gregory ran the last few miles with her trainer, also an amputee. In a powerful moment, Gregory took to her knees after crossing the line, as seen in a video posted by My Fox Boston.
Gregory posted a photo of the moment as well:
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."2 Timothy 4:7
Posted by Rebekah Gregory DiMartino's New Day New Hope on Monday, 20 April 2015
After the race, Gregory told espnW that she plans to run the full distance next year.
"I took my life back today." she said. "I want people to know that there's life after bad things that happen to you. And if I can be someone's hope or inspiration, that's what I want to do."

— espnW (@espnW) April 20, 2015Gregory, who got married last year, also testified last month at the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Gregory penned an open letter to Tsarnaev, following her testimony.
"You can't handle the fact that what you tried to destroy, you only made stronger," Gregory wrote.
Tsarnaev was convicted of all 30 counts surrounding the 2013 bombings. As 17 of those charges can be punished with the death penalty, his trial will resume Tuesday, The Boston Globe reported.

New Review on Arm Circles
Exercise: Arm Circles
Review: Because I sit at a desk all day, this exercise is important to me. I set my timer for 60 minutes and at the end of each interval I do 200 arms circles. So, by the end of the day, I've done over 1,000. I can feel that my shoulders are stronger. I really get a lot of benefit from this very simple exercise!

New Review on Barbell Hip Thrust
Exercise: Barbell Hip Thrust
Review: Excellent squat accessory lift. It WILL increase your squat and help with butt wink and knee buckle coming out the hole on squat. Helps with spreading the floor and firing the glutes to maintain a proper posterior chain alignment at the bottom of the squat. It will also help with power cleans, power snatches and dead lifts.

Apples and Green Tea Reduce Risk of Chronic Conditions
Beat any distraction
Are you constantly checking emails, scanning Facebook, Twitter and Instagram? Today’s busy lifestyles and numerous communication channels means we’re always flitting from one thing to the next – it's little wonder that our minds struggle to keep up as we continuously expect ourselves to be on top of a million things!
Did you know that our short term memory can only process three to four bits of information at any time and when we overload it with too much information; our capacity to process it all begins to fail? So whilst we are all spinning too many plates at once and trying to keep up with them all, we do need to take a moment out every now and again so we can realise when we are juggling too much. After all our brains need time to relax in order to sift through and store information, so give your mind a break by taking a moment out.
Neil Shah, Stress Management Society has some top tips on how to keep on track of your juggling act, while remaining calm and focussed:
- Wake up and breathe – it might sound fluffy, but deep breathing works wonders on relaxing your mind and helps create a moment of calm.
- Take a 5 minute holiday - a simple visualisation technique to imagine you at your favourite holiday destination utilising all of your senses. Maybe you are lying on a beach, feel the sand under your toes and the sun on your face, hear the waves crashing on the shore and the leaves gently rustling in the breeze, see the bright blue sky and smell the pineapples as you taste that Pina Colada in your mouth.
- Practice Progressive muscle relaxation - tense and release all the muscles in your body in sequence and feel the relaxation growing each time you release the tension.
- Do something you love everyday – whether it is taking the dog out, cuddling a loved one, reading, gardening or having a bubble bath, aim to do one thing you love each day for at least 15 minutes.
- Spend time alone – it is so important to have some space and be alone with your thoughts. Enjoy the silence!
- Listen to music – this is a great way to detach and forget about what is happening. Put some music on and ’just forget the world’.
- Switch off an hour before going to sleep – research shows that using technology before bed is very disturbing to the brain and it affects the quality of sleep. Switch off an hour before bed and let your brain slowly relax.
- End the day with a 1 minute meditation - aim to spend 1 minute in complete silence and clear the mind. Rather than trying to eliminate any thoughts, let them pass through and let your mind wonder to wherever it needs to go.
When your day seems a little too much to handle stop and take a moment with RESCUE® by your side. For more information, go to www.rescueremedy.co.uk.
'Waltons' Actress Mary McDonough Shares The Tough Lesson She Learned From A Bad Boob Job (VIDEO)
After that, in 1995, McDonough was diagnosed with Lupus, which she believes was a result of her breast implants. She says she never intended to be "a poster girl for bad boob jobs," but has been compelled to become an activist for women's health issues. An important part of McDonough's message is the psychological aspect of breast augmentation, which she openly shares in the above video from "Oprah: Where Are They Now -- Extra."
"If I had to give advice to anyone who is considering plastic surgery or changing themselves externally somehow, I would say a couple of things," McDonough says. "One... Go inside, be quiet and sit, and really ask yourself, 'Am I doing this for me?'"
It's a question McDonough wishes she had reflected upon more herself so many years ago. "A lot of times, what happens is we change something about ourselves thinking it's going to give us self-esteem, but guess what? You're still there with you," she says.
Her next bit of advice is about women educating and empowering themselves before making any medical decision.
"Do your own research. Take your health by the hands, and just hold it tight," she says. "Only you can help yourself -- with your doctors, with doing research. Find out what the negative implications can be."
Though she is an outspoken activist and lobbyist for informing women of the risk of implants, McDonough insists that she's not against breast augmentation.
"A lot of people think I'm anti-implant," she says. "I'm not. What I lobbied for was a safe implant, so that people who want to make that choice -- or who have had breast cancer and want to make that choice -- have something safe. So, I'm not the crazy person everybody thinks."
On the contrary, McDonough points out she's in a position to give honest advice to anyone considering plastic surgery.
"Of all people, I understand why somebody would want to change. I wanted to change me," she says. "The myth was, if I could attain this unrealistic body image, that somehow I would be happy. It's just not true. Because no matter where you go, there you are."
Related: Mary McDonough recalls the advice from costar John Ritter that helped her stop starving herself before a bathing suit scene.
"Oprah: Where Are They Now -- Extra" is a web-based spinoff of the OWN show "Oprah: Where Are They Now?", which returns with new episodes on Saturday, April 25, at 9 p.m. ET.

10-Minute Workouts You Can Sneak Into Your Day (VIDEO)
"The studies are really showing that 10 minutes can do so much for your metabolism, your fitness level and endurance, and even help with your blood pressure," Gelula says.
In the above #OWNSHOW video, the fitness website founders share four 10-minute workouts that anyone can sneak into their day.
Dance Like No One's Watching
A big fan of cardio dance classes, Brue says this one's easy to do at home. "I'll turn on the music really loud in my apartment and just boogie like no one's watching for about three songs, which equals 10 minutes."
Cardio-Kitchen Workout
After a recent trip to the grocery store, Gelula realized she could turn the basic task of putting away groceries into a quick cardio session. "I was lifting into the high pantry where I keep all my beans and dried goods and squatting down to put produce in the crisper. I stopped and did a few jumping jacks, and 10 minutes in, my heart rate was up and I hadn't even started dinner yet," she says.
Take The Stairs Two At A Time
"At Well + Good, our offices are on the tenth floor," Brue says. "And I'll just walk right past the elevator and take the stairs two at a time. If I do this for five or six minutes that equals 100 calories, and I feel really good afterwards."
Turn Your Pet Into Your Trainer
Rather than taking the dog for a leisurely stroll while you chat on the phone, Gelula says your pet's daily walk is the perfect time to sneak in a quick workout in. "Run with your dog, throw the ball and chase with the dog, and use the leash as a jump rope," she suggests.
