As mentioned before, I am blessed to work for an amazing firm and to have the opportunities that I do. Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the craziness of it all and forget to remain calm. Our firm is headed by a brilliant business man who shares great advice.
Last summer, Lloyd Blankfein gave great advice to the summer interns (see below video). "Work hard, try to get it right, and be a little less anxious..." I think this applies to everyone! Whether you are an intern or a full time employee, whether you work at the firm or not, just work hard and don't stress out to much!

For some, it is harder to turn off the stress switch once it comes off. But I think if we can try and do our best and accept what is our best instead of thinking it is our worst, we can move forward a little more each day.
Spiritual:
I came across a beautiful quote today that made me think of my Savior and his love for me.
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving - Paulo Coehlo
The Savior didn't need a reason to love us. He just did. I wonder what my life and my relationships would be like if I reminded myself that I don't need a reason to love anyone. Not to beat a dead horse to all of my single friends, but sometimes I wonder if we focus so much on finding reasons to love those that we meet or finding excuses as to why we don't need to love them, that we miss out on great opportunities. I don't mean to say that we need to fall in love instantly because that may be a little overboard... To love someone for who they are and to respect them and to give them a chance to show you who they are is an expression of love in and of itself. We love our fellow man not because we need a reason, but because we are wired to love people just because. Why focus on finding reasons not to love when we could just love and let that be a start.
Physical:
Sometimes we slip up and when we do, our bodies can tell the difference. I haven't had sugar in awhile and today I had a giant cookie. I felt sick to my stomach!! I completely lost my appetite and had no desire to have sugar again! Of course that last part is a bit dramatic, but sugar and I are not close friends anymore...
