Please take this moment out of your day to do something for yourself. . .your gift to you.  Whatever stresses you might be feeling today, let them go for now. 

Stop and close your eyes for just a little bit.  Try to picture a place that would bring you great relaxation.  Maybe, a small stream is trickling by.  Not a noisy one.  Just a little trickle that brings about peace in you.  Visualize yourself sitting by this stream in the shade of a beautiful, big tree.                               

Take five long, deep breaths.  Focus on your breathing.  Feel the intake of air and the release of all your tensions and stress.  On each exhale feel your body sinking into the earth.  Let gravity draw your body down.

Honor yourself.  Take care of yourself.  Experience the rest of your day more relaxed.
