Meditate Regularly - Not only is meditation an important tool for those who seek balance in stressful times, but it can make you more aware of your own thoughts and emotions, and help you approach your interactions with the world in a more compassionate, thoughtful way. The Stop Breathe & Think app (Apple, Android) will guide you through daily, customized practice. (Photo: Flint/Corbis)

Pamper Yourself - If you don’t make time to take care of yourself, who will? Set aside time at least once a month to do something simply because it feels good. From an hour-long massage to an afternoon at the movies, write it into your budget and your schedule and keep your appointment with yourself. (Photo: Image Source/Corbis)
