"The best time to do this is after a work-out while stretching," says EatStrong's founder nutritionist Sophie Pachella. "Clear your mind, breathe deeply, and think of two things you're happy about, no matter how trivial. Work out at a higher intensity for five fewer minutes if this is the only way to carve out the time."
