1. Go for a walk… Get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Fresh air helps to relieve stress!
2. Stress Away Essential Oil Blend. Apply to wrists, neck, back, and feet throughout the day to help feel relaxed. Get started with your own Young Living Premium Starter Kit here.
3. Kissing! Did she really just say that?! Yes! Research suggests kissing releases chemicals that ease hormones associated with stress, like cortisol. Now don’t go around kissing random strangers… but if you are married, a few extra kisses with your spouse are a must! Keep up those positive relationships such as your marriage. 😉
4. Drink herbal tea. Peppermint, chamomile, honey, ginger are all relaxing herbal teas you can enjoy. Hot beverages help to calm down your brain.
5. Diffuse lavender essential oil from Young Living. Deep breathing helps you relax, so grab your bottle of lavender and inhale for a minute or two.
6. Laugh more! I try to keep things light and fun. Life is too serious! Watch funny videos or joke around with your family and let loose.
7. Play your favorite worship music at home or in the car. Keep the focus on Christ and praising Him versus focusing on your own troubles. He can lift your burdens!
8. Epsom Salt baths. Run hot water and a cup or so of Epsom Salts with a few drops of your favorite Young Living Essential Oil. Sit back and relax for 15-20 minutes of uninterrupted silence, or play your favorite worship album. My personal favorite for relaxing is Soak, by New Life Worship. Listen here.
9. During times that I need ultimate relaxation, I love turning on my Frankincense Resin Burner from Young Living. Order here.
Blessings!
