- First and foremost wash your face in the morning. The splash of cold water on my face leaves me invigorated and feeling fresh and ready to go. This is also a great pick me up throughout the day!
- Take time to breathe..... Ready? Go, close your eyes, deep breath in...... exhale all the way. This exercise is useful when I am frustrated and just need to calm down. Also, I do this when it is so wonderful outside I just can't get enough. I breath it all in until I can't take in any more.
- Work out. Whether it be a ten minute walk for you or a 3mile run and an hour of lifting weights in the gym. Any form of exercising is a wonderful way to make yourself feel refreshed and alive as a woman. Do it because you want to not because others want you to. This is something we should do for ourselves.
- Walk tall and strong. Own your walk, be an independent woman walking with a purpose and a pleasant look on your face. Not only do you steal the attention when you walk in a room but you also feel beautiful and empowered.. Try it. You will be surprised.
- Dress in clothes that fit. Sometimes it's nice to just be a bum but when you go out put on some mascara and some casual, cute clothing. You will feel much more alert and womanly.

I have begun to take time out, even if it is just 5min, to calm myself and acknowledge my being alive. Some of the things I have found to be important to me as a woman to do are:
