Don't get stressed this holiday season!
Follow these great tips below to stay stress-free.
-Meditate/Do Yoga: There are many meditations available, but 2 of our favorites are guided imagery meditation & Tibetan singing bowl meditation. Guided imagery meditation is exactly how it sounds. You paint a happy place in your mind and picture yourself there. Tibetan singing bowl meditations are incredibly relaxing, and the vibrations made by the bowls are very similar to our brain's alpha waves which help us to deeply relax.
-Exercise: Regular exercise improves everything and has been shown to lower stress and depression! Your body produces endorphins, the feel good hormone, which makes you feel happy and high on life.
-Snuggle: Physical contact with a pet or someone you love produces oxytocin in the body which lowers stress levels and makes you feel happy.
-Aromatherapy: Using essential oils for aromatherapy can make you feel uplifted, energized, more relaxed, and all around happier. BRC makes a fantastic array of aromatherapy products that will help ease your stress naturally and effectively.
-Sleep: Getting adequete sleep is vital to stress levels. Not getting enough sleep can makes us feel more irritable, overwhelmed, and sad. Many report that their stress increases when the length and quality of their sleep decreases. 7-9 hours of sleep is recommened per night.
-Go Outdoors: Spending time in nature, whether it's gardening or just walking, helps improve your mindset and even lowers blood pressure. We were mean't to be outdoors, not cooped up inside all day.
-Talk Positive: What you say to yourself plays probably the biggest role in how you feel. You get what you give out. Talk negatively, and you will get bad things in return. Talk positively and you will get good results! We highly recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza on this topic!
