From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your Guide to Stress Management
Looking for ways to feel happier, faster? Ready to feel less stressed in 3 minutes flat? This newsletter brings tips on how to boost your mood and bust your stress, with way less effort than you may think. Add your thoughts if you like--I love to hear from readers! (Another easy way to find stress relief and share your thoughts: the Facebook Page About Stress Management; see you there!) Try some of these ideas today, and some this weekend, and let us know how you feel! --Elizabeth

Study: Regular Meditation Relieves Stress In People Like You
I've long been a proponent of meditation, and have taken several courses in meditation over the years, one notably taught by a UCLA researcher and onetime student of Jon Kabat Zin. But if you can't get your Zen from Zin (or his students), you're not a buddhist monk, but you do meditate regularly, what benefits can you expect to see? Read on and see! (Also: share your tips and stories about meditation's effects in your own life, if you're not new to meditation.)

How To Feel Happier In Minutes
Certain activities can lift your mood and relieve your stress in 10 to 15 minutes--lasting for as long as you like. These activities are known as gratifications. Learn why and how to get more gratifications into your life.

Shortcuts to Happiness
