Achieve serenity now.

Your mind is going a mile a minute. Did I lock the front door? Where's that file for my presentation? Is that a coffee stain on my shirt?

And it's only 10AM.

But if you have time to stay up on your gossip blogs, then you have enough time to de-stress and feel more centered, according to the book Shortcuts to Inner Peace: 70 Simple Paths to Everyday Serenity by Ashley Davis Bush. Her tips are rooted in science and can easily be incorporated into your crazy-busy day. The exercises take one minute and require no chanting or incense.

We didn't think we had a moment to cram even one tip into our overscheduled day, but were surprised by how quickly we picked up and craved the book's mindfulness strategies.

Stop stress in seconds, in the unlikeliest places:

• In the shower? Do this.
• Stuck in line? Do this.
• At your front door? Do this.
