5 Tactics to Navigate Stress
Ideas of sun-soaked afternoons and relaxation are looming just ahead - it makes the daily grind all the more difficult. Knowing that summer is so close, it's easy to feel stressed or burnt out. We've listed a few tactics to navigate those high stress moments into a place of quiet and much-needed respite.
-
Take a moment to breathe
Even 5 minutes of stillness can calm your body and mind. Try a breath work session or aromatherapy to help promote relaxation. If you've never done breath work, yoga breathing is a great way to get started. You can create your own Essential Oil blends by combining SR® Naturals with your favorite calming scents like lavender or peppermint.
-
Get out in the sunlight.
Not only will it help you find calm but it will also boost you mood. Find a trail and take your time - spending time in nature has a natural grounding effect. If it's difficult for you to find time outside, take Vitamin D3 regularly to uplift your mood and support your immune system.*
-
Change your tune.
Find a calming or uplifting playlist that takes your mind to a peaceful place. If music isn't quite your style, try a motivational podcast or your favorite audiobook to bring comfort.
-
Fill your cup.
Break your midday grind by treating yourself to a nourishing drink. SR® Golden Milk contains naturally anti-inflammatory ingredients including Turmeric, Ginger and Black Pepper. Served hot or over ice, with each sip you'll start to feel more at ease.
-
Hold that thought.
Journal or read to give you a moment to get lost in your own world for a bit and shut out the noise. A guided meditation is a great way to start allowing your mind to deter stress and focus on calming energy.
