Reduce Stress Naturally

Summer can be so much fun! The sunshine, outdoor activities, lighter foods, flexible schedules, increased family time and vacations all lend to feelings of freedom and wellbeing. That's why it's my favorite time of year!

Yet fall, a season that signals the return to school, routine work schedules, and preparation for winter, is just around the corner. It's not uncommon during this transitional period to experience feelings of overwhelm.

The good news is we still have some weeks of summer left!. So this year, get ahead of the game. Learn to crowd out stress by embracing positivity, self-care, and quiet. Start now and maintain or create your inner peace through the seasonal shift. Here's a few tips to get you started ...

• Breathe. Take 10 slow, deep breaths. Clear away the mind clutter by listening to the rhythm of your breathing and allow your entire body to relax with each exhale.

• Exercise. You don't need a fitness club membership. Keep it simple. Take a ten-minute walk, do 5 minutes of Dahn Yoga or get in a round of jumprope.

• Visualize. Close your eyes and let your imagination take you to a beautiful, tranquil place.

• Laugh. Even laughing without a reason produces mood-enhancing endorphins that make you feel better and boost your immune function.

• Escape. Give yourself permission to walk away from stressful situations. Take 5 minutes to recall a more joyful time or place. Move negativity out of your life.

• Relax. De-stress in a sumptuous bath or a soothing shower. Pray. Watch children play. Get a massage. Enjoy a beautiful sunrise or sunset. Sip a cup of your favorite Nervine tea. 

Put a few of these techniques to work for 7 days. See which ones work best for you and make them part of your regular plan for natural stress reduction.
