The levels of daily stress that we find ourselves under in our modern society is anything but normal. Unfortunately, this stress left unchecked or handled in unhealthy ways, takes its toll on our overall health in ways that are much bigger than most of us want to admit (mainly because it's been normalized). Reducing our stress is essential, but we can't eliminate it entirely. We have to learn how to proactively manage it.
Here are my top 3 steps to help you develop your stress management plan starting TODAY.
#1 Breathwork
It almost seems too easy and too basic to be true. But that’s the beauty of it. Breathwork is easy, can be done almost anywhere and has a ridiculous number of benefits: increasing energy, calming your stress response, promoting mental clarity, boosting your immune system function, helping digestion, improving your sleep quality, reducing pain, and detoxing the body!
Try box breathing - a simple and popular breathwork technique. Master this and you’ll have it ready to bust out whenever and wherever you need it! Use daily as a proactive measure, plus anytime it’s needed in the moment.
#2 Grounding
Grounding is really simple – it’s the practice of getting your bare feet on grass, dirt, and sand. Touching the earth and absorbing the ions and that energy from the earth is a really simple way to support and help balance your hormones.
You get this in high quantities on the beach, but you can recreate by being barefoot in your own yard every day. Yes, even in the winter. Make this a regular practice for a proactive approach to stress.
#3 Supplementation
My Stress Management bundle is what I personally take for powerful and effective stress and anxiety control! You can take it as needed, or for everyday maintenance through especially stressful times. I am never without these two in my cabinet.
Included in the bundle is Powerful, a comprehensive blend of three unique and well-researched forms of ashwagandha extract to help you manage the effects of stress (ashwagandha is an adaptogen that’s safe for almost everyone).
Also Joyful, which is power-packed with known stress-busting supports like B vitamins, Magnesium, Inositol, Chamomile, L-Theanine, 5-HTP and more. ALL THE GOOD STUFF!
