Tip: Defining pleasurable anchors to ground you in your day will decrease stress. Daily consistent anchors should associate with the beginning, middle and end of each day. By having these set moments that you can count on, your body can then feel the relief of the reliability of the known. These can be tiny moments like having a cup of coffee, looking out the window or taking a walk to get the mail in the mornings. A particular snack break where you enjoy your plants or an evening reading of a book or listening to music at a relatively set time (ideally moments should not involve screens and should be transferable to any location). You can breathe into these moments and build life around them to keep you centered, grounded and anchored. Anna Levy-Warren is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Organizational Tutors.
