Life can get stressful. Whether you have a natural resilience to stress or not, factors in our fast paced modern lifestyles can make you feel stressed and even anxious at times. There may be a change of circumstances that you have faced and this might have had a negative impact on your emotional wellbeing. Sometimes a major problem in one area of your life such as your health, career or relationship can have a negative knock-on effect to the rest of your life. Before you know it, you may be feeling stressed and anxious a lot of the time which if not recognised and managed effectively can lead to bigger problems.
Developing a coping strategy for managing the stress and anxiety that you experience in your everyday life is key. Everybody is different and something that one person finds very effective in reducing and managing their stress and anxiety levels may not be the best solution for you. It is SO important to try different ways of managing and reducing your stress and anxiety until you find the most effective solutions that work well for you.
Implementing A Self-Care Routine
During times of stress, worry and anxiety, it is ever more important to take good care of yourself. This means making sure that you are getting plenty of rest and an opportunity to relax. We all need eight hours of sleep each night in order to help us to feel refreshed and allow us to be able to concentrate better. Managing to get that amount of sleep can be hard, especially when stress is something that can keep you awake at night. There are a number of different products at hippie which can be useful for helping you to relax in order to wind down to get some sleep. Burning essential oils or incense is a good way of clearing your mind, allowing you to naturally drift off to that all important sleep.
Eating a good diet is also vital in your self-care routine. When you eat a lot of unhealthy foods, this can really affect your mood. You may feel happy while you are eating them, however, after the effects have worn off you will quickly start to feel sluggish and lethargic which can make your stress and anxiety worse.
Breathing Techniques
Deep breathing is a good way of calming yourself down if you are feeling anxious or stressed. Breathe in slowly of a count of three. Then, hold your breath for a count of four, and then breathe out slowly over the count of five. This will help you manage your breathing and refocus your mind.
Using CBD Oil
Consider different remedies such as CBD to help to alleviate some of the symptoms of stress and anxiety in your life. CBD oil is derived from cannabis (free from any psychoactive and addictive qualities) and is completely safe and legal to use. It will help you to cope with anxiety leaving you calm enough to get on with your life as normal.
