Day 3, Wednesday: Take Notes

Start a Stress Log

For the rest of the week, keep your journal on hand and make a quick note each time something or someone stresses you out. Notice when your muscles tighten, your heartbeat speeds up, or your breath quickens, and try to identify the source of your stress response

Sip Smart

Drinking hot water with lemon helps stimulate your digestive system and promote cleansing, says naturopathic physician Brooke Kalanick, author of "Ultimate You." It also gives you something steamy to sip in lieu of your habitual latte. For more healthy hydration, brew a cup of ginger tea, green tea, or caffeine-free chai.

Push Up Your Bedtime

Sack out even earlier tonight: 10 minutes before last night's bedtime, 20 minutes before Monday's. If you're still not logging at least seven hours per night, move up your bedtime even further -- or make it your goal to get there, gradually, by week's end.

Today's Meal Plan

Each day this week, eat five or six small meals rich in fruit, vegetables, and other complex carbs. Supplement with organic, hormone-free animal protein if you want. A typical meal might be three ounces of protein (the size of a smartphone), 1/4 to 1/2 cup carbs (whole grains, sweet potatoes, or fruit), and unlimited nonstarchy vegetables like leafy greens. It might also be a small serving of gluten-free buckwheat noodles or black beans.
