Stress is not just in your head…and sometimes, we unknowingly make it worse by:
1. Pushing trough
We’ve been taught to ignore stress and push through and many of use (especially busy, high-achieving women) are very good at it. But stress accumulates and your body stores.
2. Trying to think your way out of stress.
Overthinking won’t calm your nervous system. Because stress lives in the body.
3. Ignoring the body
Tension in the neck, shallow breath, heaviness in your stomach, sleep issues. Your body gives you signals. Quiet at first but if you ignore it, it will shout.
➡️ Stress is a body experience, which means it needs a body-based response.
💡My quick tips:
Sit in a quiet place for 2-5 minutes.
Close your eyes.
Take a few deep breaths and gently connect to your body.
Open your bottle of favourite essential oil (calming ones could be orange, bergamot, geranium, lavender, roman chamomile, pine, cedar wood…)
Inhale slowly, exhale a bit longer.
Repeat for a couple of minutes
Let the beautiful fragrance and the plant’s wisdom gently enter your body and bring your nervous system back to calm.
