Once I finished 5 Minutes to Stress Relief I wanted to read it again; it was such a breath of fresh air. It encouraged me to re-evaluate the significance and severity of my personal stresses in relation to the big picture and forever changed my perspective. I was reminded that in the grand scheme of life, the worries that weigh me down are extremely insignificant and that realization alone provides relief! This is a perfect book to have on your desk at the office for quick encouragement and practical tips when you feel the stress knocking on your door.

My life is full of constant demands and pressures, on the work front as managing partner of a PR firm and as a mother of three young kids.

I utilize Laurens stress relieving techniques found in 5 Minutes to Stress Relief daily to reduce the anxiety in my life. It helps me work through problems and find resolution, which in turn lowers my stress.

As an actor and standup comic living in NYC, mega stress is a daily struggle. Fear of being judged and not getting a laugh or certain acting part can be overwhelming. I have literally called Lauren from the bathroom before a big performance and asked this stress relief goddess to help me believe in myself again and stop stressing myself out! She has given me quick and easy techniques to overcome my fears and has helped me give the best performances of my lifeironically by letting go. Since she taught me EFT, which is a technique found in 5 Minutes to Stress Relief, I have booked two national spots on ABCs What Would You Do? (Featured on Good Morning America) a gig at Carolines on Broadway, and a national commercial all in one year! I cant thank her enough!

Dedication
To my beautiful friend Juney June, who chose to play the infinite game of life versus the finite game, who knew what was essential and non-essential.
Sweet Juney, you laughed and sang on earth all the way up to the moment your heart stopped beating on earth and began to beat in the heavenly realms. Thank you for teaching me how to move through fear back to God again and again and again. For reminding me that God has given me the ability to laugh, love, and sing no matter what surrounds me. I will carry the strength of your positive perspectives within my heart and out into the world until we meet face to face once again.
