While stress levels ebb and flow throughout the many different stages of life and a certain level of stress can be expected, too much can take a toll on our mental health and nervous system.
The good news? There are ways to release tension and help you to manage those pesky stressful situations a little better, and a lot of these ways revolve around self care. Here’s a few of our favourite mindfulness practices to incorporate into your daily life:
Practice breath work
Breath work is a simple way to manage stress and anxiety. Focusing on deep, intentional breathing can slow down our heart rate and calm our nervous system, promoting relaxation and mental clarity.
Connect with nature
Spending time in nature has a profound effect on our mental health. Connecting with the natural world can reduce stress, boost our mood, and promote calm and well-being.
Gratitude prompts
Writing gratitude prompts is a powerful way to shift our focus from worry to gratitude. By reflecting on what we are thankful for, we can cultivate joy and contentment, even in the face of uncertainty.
Create a relaxing space
A calming essential oil like the Calm Essential Oil Blend can take you on a peaceful sensory journey within your home. This blend of 100% pure essential oils is renowned for restoring a sense of calm and tranquillity (and it smells divine!).
Nurture your skin
Taking a couple of minutes each day (AM & PM) to nurture your skin with a spa-quality cleanser, serum and moisturiser not only leaves your skin more hydrated, healthy & glowing, it also gives you a little moment of luxury at home.
