If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take some time out of your day to do simple breathing exercises. Success & Wellness Coach Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy shared two techniques for Reader’s Digest:

Simple equal breath

Inhale through your nose for four counts, and then exhale through your nose for four counts. Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy, president and CEO of Power Living Enterprises, recommends that you increase the count per breath (from four to six or eight) over time. This breathing exercise will help to reduce stress and calm your mind. Use these magic phrases to instantly ease your anxiety.

Who’s Your Biggest Mentor?

When asked “Who’s your biggest mentor?”, Success & Wellness Coach Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy contributed to MyCorporation Blog sharing thoughts on her mother:

“My mother, Janie Sykes-Kennedy, has been my biggest mentor. A Columbia University-trained journalist, she ran Sykes Kennedy Associates, Inc., a marketing consulting company that did business around the world. In the late 1980s, she was invited by the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Housing & Urban Development as one of fourteen women to start trade talks with China and walked away with a contract to distribute the journal, Building in China, worldwide. She showed me by example what was possible as a female entrepreneur. You can make your dreams come true by believing in yourself, living your values, pursuing your vision, working smart, and seeking joy along the way.”
