Bring the Calm back into your Life!

Everyone knows the feeling: you are running late, the interstate is jammed, you can't find parking in the car garage and now you are going to be late for your 9:00am appointment! During times like this, as well as during stressful moments, you need to develop coping mechanisms to help keep you calm and in control. Here are some tips to help you keep your cool during any stressful uprising:

Tip 1- Just Breathe: Next time you are stuck in traffic, instead of getting yourself all worked up, simply take a deep breath and release the exhale slowly. Focus on deepening your breath and increasing the length of your exhalation. Mentally envision all the toxins and stress built up flowing out of your body with each exhale.

Tip 2- Pump it up: Pump up your heart that is! It is no secret that exercising can not only help you stay in shape, but exercising is one of the bet ways to release your tension and produce those "feel-good" chemicals called endorphins.

Tip 3- Perfect Timing: Getting up a few minutes earlier then you normally do in the morning can give you "time cushion" all day and help keep you in control.

Tip 4- Say NO to Sugar: When you are feeling stressed sometimes we start to crave the wrong types of foods. Try to avoid sugary, processed foods that give you that initial "sugar high" followed by an energy crash. This is counterproductive in the battle against stress! Instead, eat foods high in protein and munch on fruit when you are in need of some natural sugar.

Tip 5- Homeopathy: Taking a homeopathic stress relief formula like VÄXA Extress mini can help you manage stress and over activity with mini sized pills!
