emotional changes. maybe you're being impatient or lose interest in things you once loved before. >> let's talk about working on stress. you say first start and end your day on a positive note. what do you suggest? >> yeah, i actually recommend when people wake up in the morning, they immediately think of something that they can be grateful for. for some people that's helpful to actually write it down or write a little note next to the bedside to remind yourself when you wake up. at the end of the day, think of what good things happened. >> it really is that easy. aren't complicated things to think about in most cases. folks should use your own breath to slow down a little bit. >> it's interesting, when we use our own breath, we tell our mind it's okay and start to slow our nervous system down. you can do that simply by increasing your exhalation, that's the most important thing or breathing down into your belly. most of the

in our upper lobes of our lungs. >> interesting stuff. you also say write down your feelings, a lot of people don't -- they go to phones first to put things down but take the time to put things on paper. >> i think there's a lot that is to be said by actually hand writing in a journal. some people don't like to handwrite in a journal or maybe recording yourself on your phone or an audio clip only for you. any time you're feeling stressed or exhausted orangery, if you actually allow those feelings to come out, it allows better thoughts to come in. >> just to get them out. >> absolutely, you can think of it as a container. you're emptying it into a container rather than maybe texting someone you care about that you don't want to empty that into. >> good point. save that text and don't get in trouble later. the last thing, try to create small weekly intentions. >> yeah, so if

one to three things first asking yourself how do i want to feel? energized and reflect on what one to three things you can do that maybe take 20 minutes or less to implement. maybe that's energizing yourself going for a short run or taking a quick break in the middle of the work day. that allows yourself to stay focused on what's most important during your day. >> this is not about eliminating stress but sort of managing and it's a real part of life but you can get control of it, right? >> there's an idea optimal stress, if we have no stress we become lazy. when you don't exercise your muscle it becomes weak. a certain level is happy and healthy. >> thanks so much. >> thank you so much. >> well, today's snow was rather low impact but there may be a few more chances for winter weather this week. after the break, when you should be on the looko ut

degrees. oh, fun. >> the current temperature -- the actual temperature is 35 but we're looking at cloudy skies. we saw the snow this morning and had about an inch and a half in arlington, 2 near frederick, enough to give a pretty good coating on cars and grass and sidewalk. most of that did melt unless the roads were untreated then we saw that sticking. as we go through the afternoon it's going to stay cold. temperatures staying in the 30s, we're mostly in the mid 30s now and lees burg at 36 degrees. 38 in annapolis, 36 in fredericksburg. for today, you see it on radar, we have passing snow showers and we can still see some through the next few hours. we have them right now to the south and east and parts of prince george's and brandy wine seeing very light snow flakes falling. kind of scattered in parts of montgomery county but those are starting to leave the area. not going to be a big deal for the rest of the day today b

tomorrow morning and wednesday morning. here's 1:00 p.m. today, could still see passing snow showers and dry evening commute though, then we go to early tomorrow morning. another system passes up to the north. there's a chance a few snow flakes can move in. i don't think it's going to be a big deal. by the afternoon we're dry and not as cold as today either. take a look as we go through the next few days, normal high is 44. today in the upper 30s. tomorrow we'll start to get above normal around 49, wednesday 47 and by thursday we're closer to normal around 43 degrees. for today, 39 degrees, it's going to stay cold and little bit below normal. passing snow shower possible, cloudy skies, then tomorrow, not as cold, 10 degrees warmer, wednesday at 47 degrees, chance of a few early showers there. by thursday and friday we're dry and sunny but we're colder into the weekend. we're talking about the upper 30s next chance comes on sunday. thank you, sheena, more
