Two For Tuesday - ABC    JACKSON 5    JACKSON 5, DISCO DOM

#1 for 2 weeks in 1970, R&R Hall of Fame hit for a famous family singing act from Gary, IN.

Here are 11 quick ways to give yourself a reset:

Step Outside for Some Green Time - Take a short walk somewhere with trees, plants, or other greenery. If you can go in the morning, the sunlight may also help support your body's natural sleep and wake cycle.

Reach Out to Someone You Care About - Send a thoughtful text or make a quick phone call to a friend or loved one. Even a brief conversation can help you feel more connected and supported.

Turn Up Your Favorite Feel-Good Playlist - Play a few songs that always put you in a good mood. Singing along or dancing around can help shake off stress and boost your energy.

Make Your Shower a Mindful Break - Instead of rushing through your routine, pay attention to the warmth of the water, the scent of your soap, and the sounds around you. Focusing on your senses can help calm a busy mind.

Spend a Few Minutes Creating Something - Write, draw, paint, garden, or tackle any hobby you enjoy. Don't worry about the end result, the act of creating is what helps reduce stress.

Tidy One Small Spot - Clear off your desk, organize a countertop, or straighten up one small area of your home. Finishing a simple task like this can leave you feeling accomplished.

Give Your Social Feed a Fresh Start - Unfollow or mute accounts that leave you feeling anxious, discouraged, or like you're not measuring up. Replacing negative content with more positive influences can improve your mindset.

Clear Your Mind on Paper - Grab a notebook and write down everything that's swirling around in your head. Seeing your thoughts on paper can make them feel more manageable and help you focus on what really matters.

Slow Down With Deep Breaths - Spend a minute or two taking slow, steady breaths. Deep breathing helps calm your nervous system and can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.

Focus on the Good Things - Take a moment to think about a few things you're grateful for, or jot them down in a journal. Regular gratitude can help shift your perspective and build resilience.

Take a Break From Your Screens: Put your phone away, silence notifications, and step away from your computer for a few minutes. Giving your brain a break from constant stimulation can improve focus and mental clarity.

The best part is that none of these ideas require a major commitment or a big block of free time. Just a few intentional minutes can leave you feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready for whatever the rest of the day brings.

A police chase in the Los Angeles area took a strange turn Sunday night when the driver stopped for gas in the middle of it. A suspected drunk driver led California Highway Patrol on a high-speed run from the West Valley to Pasadena in a maroon Dodge Charger with blacked-out windows and no headlights. At times the car topped 130 miles per hour, and news helicopters lost sight of it because it was moving so fast. At one point, the driver pulled off the freeway, filled up the tank, then got right back on the road. The chase finally ended in Pasadena, where the driver and two passengers jumped out and tried to run. All three were caught.
