I've really been enjoying my local yoga class. Yoga is one of the best ways I know to help people stay calm in the midst of chaos. If I could have all of my clients drink enough water and do yoga...well, I'd be out of business wouldn't I? :-)
If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

(Big doings here at calm by leslie. I hope to have more details for you in the next few days.)
As a health and wellness professional, and as a busy mom, I know how easy it is to get stressed and the effects that stress can have on one's health. One of the best methods I know of to reduce stress in one's life is to practice meditation. It doesn't require changing your religion or shaving your head...it merely means taking time every day to stop and just be.
The good folks at Tricycle magazine have designated tomorrow (Saturday, June 7th, 2008) as a virtual "Change Your Mind Day". Take some time to meditate, or some time to learn how, and see what it's like to have a clearer, calmer head!
