* Relaxation is not something you "do." It is a natural response that you allow to "happen." Relaxation is what remains when you stop creating tension.
* Practice acceptance.
* Respect everyone's right to happiness.
* Heartbeat meditation: Place your hand over your heart or wrist. Count each pulse, starting over each time you reach four, or simply label each pulse "beat," without numbers. If you lose count, start again. Relax, breathe, and try to get a longer pause between each pulse, slowing and soothing your heart.
* Before leaving for work, meditate on the day ahead and reflect on the idea of life as a gift. You are being given a new day. The day is a gift. How can you best use and experience it?
