Hey there CAD'ers!
Today's challenge: Relax! Stress can impair weight loss, increase your chances of getting sick, and even shorten your life. Today's challenge is to take ten minutes out of your day and meditate. Silence your phone, leave the kids with mom or dad, and take ten minutes for just you. Here are some links to guided imagery for relaxation:

Make a great day MFP!

    Will definitely be doing this after a few stressful days at work. Super stress fest there, but this Sunday will be about relaxing. Thanks for the reminder to take time and do this =)

    I didn't exactly meditate, but I did take some time for myself this afternoon and took a nap with my 2yr old instead of trying to get stuff done while he napped. I feel really great now!

    I'm going to relax and listen to my rain fall sleep app. In a moment. It might help me sleep better. Back to work in the morning.

    I have decided to ignore the painting that needs to be finished in the living room and just snuggle with the kids and watch Christmas movies. It has been a long, hectic week and today was particularly busy. I am looking forward to recharging for next week.
