Top 10 Stress Busters For Peace Of Mind
These are the top 10 stress busters I do whenever I start to feel stressed out.
- I cant figure everything out, sometimes I get lost searching on the web for answers! This tends to stress me out…So, I put my laptop down and get myself moving whether it be making a snack and getting hot green tea, OR even taking a walk outside to get the mail. I may feed the dog, play with the dog, or put my feet in the pool water. Get your blood flow moving and it will get your mind off whatever it was that stressed you out. You need to move your body baby!
- Get outdoors and look at nature. Invigorate your senses with the trees, birds chirping or squirrels playing. Look up at the sky! It will captivate and help to relieve any negative vibes. Breathe in a few breaths and look at all the abundance around you. You are blessed, and it could be worse. Take a moment to reflect and be thankful.
- Put your favorite music playlists on and start dancing! Your favorite tunes will get you in the mood to dance and sing! Get happy.
- Do some breathing exercises in through the nose and out the mouth. Breathe in positivity and release negativity. I hold each breathe for about 5 seconds. You can do longer if you like. These breathing techniques will send more oxygen to your brain and boost your endorphins.
- Write a list of 5 things you are grateful for and meditate for a minute or two on each one and feel good about it. Hold your hand to your heart while doing this.
- Take your supplements!
- Vision the rest of the day how you want it to end. You can vision a wonderful evening with your husband or family and or vision a success and a beautiful tomorrow.
- Exercise! Do a you tube workout video to make yourself feel good.
- Put a mask and do a facial! Your skin is beautiful and it matters!
- Put candles and lighting to create a soothing ambiance. This does the trick for me all the time. If you have any other stress busters for peace of mind let me know! These are my Top 10 and I hope you found value in them.
How Are You Coping With Covid-19?
How are you coping with Covid-19? What seemed liked an easy process in the beginning, Covid-19 slowly started to become cumbersome. I have to honestly say that in the beginning when the virus just started getting notoriety, I was actually happy that we had to stay indoors. Juggles and multitasking became my first and middle name. Fast forward 2 months later…OMG! Is it over yet? With the kids being home schooled and their constant bickering…I was getting tired, and not to mention my time was limited to do what I needed to do.
Survival Mode
Now, I am doing better and having more patience and taking the necessary steps to make sure my family and I are safe and healthy. One thing to do is make sure you stock up on plenty of groceries and household items such as candles, hand sanitizer, shampoo and conditioner, tissue and the like. Healthy options for food if possible. You never know if the government decides to keep us home and temporarily close grocery stores One important factor to be considered during all of this is to be mindful and have a supply of masks, gloves and vitamins. If your like me, my masks always seem to disappear into thin air. lol. Girls, Have u seen my masks? No, mom! hmmm..I’m not so sure. Gloves are also useful, so we do not touch all those icky surfaces! Did I mention vitamins? I give my family Vitamin C, D and E to build their immune systems up!
Family Bonding Time
One thing I did learn from all this was to never take one another for granted. Even though I had my hands full and continue to stay busy, I would not trade it in for the world. I was able to connect with my family spirits on a new level. We were there for every wants and needs. That’s something you cant take away, the special bond of a family. We were also in one anothers hair and that wasn’t pretty either! lol When it was time to relieve some stress, we played the Wii and Just Dance 2 together. We did many things together such as baking, exercising, and board games. An everyday ritual of ours was walking Sophia our pit bull in the neighborhood or riding our bikes to the grocery store. How are you coping with Covid-19? So far so good, whats next?
