Stress has three main fuels: worry, fear and doubt. They act like little serpents that crawl into the lap of your life and wreak havoc emotionally, spiritually and physically.

Lauren E. Miller has learned this firsthand, as she walked through two of life’s top stressors at the same time ~ advanced cancer and divorce. As if that was not stressful enough, she found out that she only had a 50 percent chance of surviving the illness. Through this experience, Miller learned that one of the greatest positions of empowerment lies in the conscious choice to stay awake at the gate of your thoughts and prevent your body from identifying stress as a threat.

Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experience, Miller has created a “stress-free” stress relief manual with her new book, “5 Minutes to Stress Relief: How to Release Fear, Worry, and Doubt…Instantly” (Career Press, 2013). With unique “Grab and Go” tips, Miller provides the optimal foundation for both individuals and entire corporations to move forward into stress-free living in their workplaces and personal spaces.

A sampling of the specific skills and tools “5 Minutes to Stress Relief” teaches includes:

• How to identify and relieve stress.
• How to cultivate personal excellence in mind to create positive transformation in your physical, emotional, and spiritual experiences.
• How to activate your natural state of being.
• Dismiss those serpents that are trying to hinder your ability to maintain inner calm, clarity of focus and a motivated response to all of life.
