Springtime is the perfect time to take advantage of the positive effects nature has on our psyche. When you feel stressed, take some time to step outside and notice the flowers, trees and plants. Listen to the birds and take some deep relaxing breaths. Just be outside and notice how beautiful and crisp the colors are around you. You can take a journal with you and record what your body and mind are telling you.
By surrounding yourself with the negative ions of nature (which have positive effects on your mood), you help your body to de-stress. Notice how your breathing becomes more relaxed and your body may feel lighter.
Try grounding yourself everyday. Walk barefoot on the grass for at least 10 minutes each day. The earth will help to balance you. Touch a plant and think about what they do for us each day. They help purify our air and add beauty to our environment.
Be thankful that Spring has Sprung! Take the time to be aware of all the beauty around you.
Take a News break for 3-5 days and Sit on your porch each morning after the kids have gone to school and drink some water or tea, while you soak it all up. You'll feel calmer than when you started.
Nature is a natural reviver, boost me up and de-stresser. It won't cost you a penny and yet the benefits are enormous.
Get some sunshine everyday and SMILE- then check in with where your Stress-O-MOM-oter is.
