We don't always have time for a massage, a hot bath, or a yoga class, but we can all find five minutes in the day to rejuvenate with a quick meditation.

Whether you need to mentally prepare for a busy day, wind down from a stressful meeting, or get ready for the frustrating commute home (I know I do!), this quick meditation exercise will center and relax you right at your desk!

Sit in your chair with your back straight.
Keep your chest lifted with your shoulders relaxed.
Focus on staying centered and comfortable.
Set your watch timer or computer task reminder for five minutes.
Relax your legs with your feet firmly planted on the floor.
Place your palms on your knees or thighs.
Breathe.
Follow the natural rhythm of your breath as you inhale and exhale.
Focus on what your breath feels like coming in and out of your nose.
Focus on how your lungs feel as they begin to fill.
Feel your abdomen rise and fall.
Try not to attach any feelings to your breath; just "watch" it.
Even after the timer goes off, try to keep this feeling with you throughout your day, or at least know that a healing relaxation is only five minutes away.
