50 Ways to Reduce Stress*

#1: Limit the list to just 5. (Done! We’ve done it for you. Why get overwhelmed? Now simply focus on the remaining 4.)

#2: Breathe! You are already doing it, so now just notice that you are breathing. (Check! If you’d like to reduce stress even more, repeat this step, 3 or more times, being aware of your breathing, as able. Your nervous system will appreciate you!)

#3: Move your body. Squeeze your fingertips. Massage the palm of your hands. Wiggle your toes. Squeeze the top of your shoulders. If the situation allows, stand up and bounce, dance, sway and stretch.

#4: Technically, if you did all, as suggested, of number 3, then you’ve done way more than 5 things. You’re amazing! Be amused! And if you think you didn’t do any part of number 3, I bet you still moved your eyelids, so congratulations. Now, even if you have to fake amusement, try it. Turn up the corners of your mouth in an attempt to smile and say to yourself, even if not convinced, “Isn’t it amusing how unamused I am right now?" (Cue your own fake laughter.) Amusement is a catalyst for change. Welcome in a nudge to become unstuck towards your next baby step for balance, healing, resilience and validation.

#5: Now. Be here now. In the present moment of NOW, the truth resides. Now is where we create. Now is the moment of response. Next steps begin in present time. Collect your mental/emotional energy from past story lines, the “could’ves and should’ves”. Reclaim energy projecting into future “what ifs.” Anxiety is often a result of thinking about the past or future. Right now, you can respond to presence. Right now you can breathe, move and begin anew.

* (Suggested Use: Repeat often as needed. Side effects may include stress relief and extended moments of centered, peaceful focus. Make sure to call your Everspring Living practitioner for additional support: 612-216-3500.)

A foundational practice to help calm the nervous system is to breathe! It may seem too simple, as we do it without thinking; yet, when we focus our awareness on the breath, the mind and body receive opportunities to rewire, reset and renew. As the body and mind relax, healing begins.

Here in Minneapolis, 2026 has been a rough start, to say the least. Today many are participating in the “ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA, Day of Truth and Freedom. NO WORK, NO SCHOOL, NO SHOPPING” march and rally. The temperature outside is -12 degrees F with wind gusts making it feel like -45 degrees; yet, people WILL march.

Perhaps you are one of the Minnesotans that will put on your winter gear, show up to promote change, stand by your truth and do what you can for a better tomorrow. Another may need to reflect and heal in solitude. Others may have no other choice than to show up for work and attend to survival needs.

Each of us walks a unique path that only can be truly understood by the one walking it. It’s a difficult time to navigate, especially when, metaphorically speaking, roads have been blocked, and the horizon of hope feels distant and obscure.

We, at Everspring Health, aim to support you as you navigate your next steps. Health and healing begin with a foundation of rest and relaxation - baby steps on a path towards fulfilled living. We support you in discovering the PACE that works best for you, for greater physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual health and well-being. It begins one step at a time.

The temperature is dropping and the wind is blowing! Let’s get out our Contemplations in Color coloring books and explore a cozy opportunity to color. Follow the prompts to gain awareness of your own body in relation to your surrounding environment.

Exploring the sense of TEMPERATURE:
• Choose a design that reminds you of temperature, such as a warm blanket or snowflakes*.
• Before coloring, check in with your sense of temperature. Does the environment/room feel warm, cool, or just right? Are your fingers or toes different temperatures than your torso or head?
• When picking out colors for your design, choose ones that support what’d like to experience in temperature. If you’re cold, use warming tones such as yellow, orange and red. Perhaps you’re too warm and drawn to invigorating temperatures found via cold showers or activities in the snow. If so, color with cool hues, such as blue, purple or green.
• When done coloring for this session, notice again, the temperature of your fingers, toes, torso and head. Has the temperature shifted within your body or environment?

All you may need to know is that stewed apples provide nourishment for the body and are tasty, too; but at Everspring Health, we provide the time to dive deeper into health care strategies, specific to each client’s individual health care needs. Whether we consult about “stress, diet and sleep” or share the health significance of concepts like “doshas, agni, yin and qi,” we’re here to support you in health and well-being.

For the curious minded/deeper dive into health, enjoy part 2: Stewed Apples in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine:

Ayurvedic Perspective:
In Ayurveda, stewed apples are often recommended as a gentle, nourishing food that supports Agni (digestive fire) while calming Vata and Pitta doshas. Cooking the apples makes them lighter to digest than raw fruit and helps release their natural sweetness and prana (life force). Prepare as part of a cleansing or restorative regimen, especially in the morning, to promote regular elimination, soothe the intestinal tract, and gently detoxify Ama (metabolic waste).
• Benefits: Improves digestion, supports regularity, nourishes tissues, and stabilizes blood sugar when prepared with warming spices like cinnamon or cardamom.
• Energetics: Warm, moist, sweet, and light — ideal for calming dryness, irregularity, and digestive sluggishness.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective:
In TCM, apples are considered cooling and moistening in their raw state, but stewing transforms their nature, reducing the cooling effect and making them easier on the Spleen and Stomach Qi. Gently cooked apples strengthen digestion, harmonize the middle burner, and support the transformation and transportation of fluids. This preparation can help relieve mild constipation and nourish Yin without creating dampness.
• Benefits: Strengthens digestion, harmonizes the Spleen and Stomach, supports Qi circulation, and eases dryness of the intestines.
• Energetics: Warm, sweet, and mildly tonifying after cooking — suitable for those with weak digestion or recovery after illness.

As we move through Samhain—the turning of the season and the ancient root of Halloween—it is said that the veil between worlds grows thin. Traditionally, it’s a time to honor the unseen, to listen for what moves quietly beneath the surface of life.

At Everspring Health, we see this as an invitation to do the same within ourselves. The subtle world is always present—within our emotions, intuition, and the body’s quiet signals. At this time of year, it may be easier to feel them.

Notice what’s asking for your attention:
• Feelings you’ve set aside
• Needs your body has been whispering
• A part of yourself that longs to be acknowledged

When we pause to recognize these hidden layers, we reconnect with our wholeness. The unseen becomes seen, the unconscious becomes conscious, and new balance begins to form.

This Samhain, may your awareness deepen—and may what’s been waiting in the quiet find its way into the light.
