SUMMARY: April is Stress Awareness Month and with many Americans struggling with stress and burnout, it's important to prioritize mental health. Dr. Greg Hammer, a former Stanford University Professor, emphasizes the importance of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. His GAIN method focuses on gratitude, acceptance, intention, and non-judgment, as well as a simple three-minute mindfulness meditation practice. Stress can lead to a vicious cycle of poor sleep, unhealthy eating, and lack of exercise, which can age us and contribute to various diseases. By incorporating mindfulness and focusing on self-care, individuals can work towards a more peaceful and balanced life.

It's a good time to learn how to revitalize your mental health and prioritize your peace.
