Life can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. At Herbs N Root, we understand how important it is to take a moment for yourself every now and then.
In fact, a pause can work wonders for our physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. And, whether you’re looking to de-stress or simply unwind from a long day, more and more people are seeking natural solutions to restore inner calm. Here are some tried-and-tested tips to help you relax and rewind before pressing play again.
TRY A LITTLE MEDITATION
Having racing thoughts disrupt your day or keep you awake at night? We’ve all been through this. Whether it’s one too many tasks on the to-do list or tossing and turning between the daily chores, it can sometimes be impossible to switch off. That’s why we see a lot of us turning to meditation in order to reduce the impact of stress on the mind and body – like the digestive system.The beauty of meditation is that it can be done anytime and anywhere. Simply close your eyes and breathe naturally. Then focus your attention on the breath and on how the body moves with each inhalation and exhalation. Try this for two to three minutes to begin with, then once you get the hang of it, you can try for longer periods.
YOGA FOR GOOD ENERGY
Originating from ancient India, yoga is a holistic physical, mental and spiritual discipline with many devotees. The art of practicing yoga helps in controlling an individual’s mind, body and soul. It brings together physical and mental disciplines to achieve a peaceful body and mind; it helps manage stress and anxiety and keeps you relaxing. It also helps in increasing flexibility, muscle strength and body tone. Do your research, and whether you choose to try yoga at home, or you sign up for a local class, it can help calm your body and mind.
EXERCISE – EVERY LITTLE BIT COUNTS
For quite a few of us, the thought of pounding the pavement may not be the first thing that comes to mind when we’re anxious or stressed. But there’s no denying that exercise can increase your overall health and sense of wellbeing. So whether it’s a gentle jog, around the block, an energetic gym class or even just a stroll through the park, a little bit of exercise can provide instant stress-busting benefits and help detoxify your daily routine
MAKE TIME FOR YOUR FRIENDS
Social support is one of the most effective stress relievers. Take time to switch off and confide in those closest to you… after all, as the old saying goes: a problem shared is a problem halved. So go out and give a nice hug to your best mate, call him/her and relive those fun moments spend together.
LAUGH EVERY SINGLE DAY
The old adage that ‘laughter is the best form of medicine’ was coined for a reason – the physical act of laughing releases tension and brings positive physiological changes, making you feel instantaneously happier. As well as short-term effects, there are longer-term ones too – it’s no wonder that, in some countries, there has been an introduction of laughter parties, classes and even laughter yoga, as early as part of school extra curriculum activity.
So, whether you book to see your favourite stand-up comedian, meet up with your pals for a good giggle or simply chuckle at a cartoon on your favourite OTT channel, find a way to get more laughter in your life.
TAKE FIVE WITH A NICE CUP OF TEA
