"wisely, And Slow. They Stumble That Run Fast." – Shakespeare

As any younger woman juggling life’s responsibilities knows, burnout can strike hard and at any time. When you’re approaching warp speeds, darting from work to dinner to a networking event, who has time to think about pumping the brakes? But slowing your roll is key to keeping healthy, as large amounts of stress combined with little rest can culminate into bigger problems like sickness, confusion, even cardiovascular disease.

Here are a few quick tips for keeping stress at bay:
1. Get more sleep. To stay healthy, women should aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night.
2. Stay hydrated. Drinking water helps flush toxins from your bod, as well as reducing the risk of infection or disease.
3. Try deep breathing. If you can't step away from the situation, try deep breathing to help you calm down. It decreases your heart rate and helps your muscles relax.
4. Exercise. Exercise increases production of happy neurotransmitters called endorphins.

Next time you're feeling overwhelmed by life, remember to decelerate - before you crash.
