1. Just breathe
When daily stresses arise, the one superpower we can always call from our arsenal is breathing. Just five slow and deep breaths can have the ability to calm our worries, clear our heads and keep us feeling level-headed. Pairing this exercise with stress check breathe in can make it all the more effective, simply roll some onto your wrists and allow the scent of Eucalpytus, Frankincense and Lavender Oil to refresh and calm your senses.
2. Get moving
It’s no secret that physical exercise (no matter how gentle or vigorous) can have a positive impact on our moods both in the short and long term. It’s great for shifting our focus, clearing our head and getting out in nature (which, incidentally, is a great way to help our mental health) – and that’s equally as true for a dog walk, yoga session or cross-country run. Don’t forget to apply in transit skin defence spf 45 before you head out, to protect your skin with Broad Spectrum SPF – whatever the weather – then try sleep plus massage relief afterwards to help relieve tension.
3. Reduce your triggers
Meditation, mindfulness, ‘me time’… whatever you like to call it or how you spend it, taking the time to focus your energy inward consistently can really help prevent stress and also help you feel more prepared when it arrives. To maximise your calm, reach for stress check breathe out and enjoy the sense of relief brought to you by Ylang Ylang, Lavender and Neroli.
4. Create an oasis
Use stress check mood manager (our mood modifying mist that can be used on skin, clothing or your surroundings) to create a calm atmosphere wherever you are. Breathing in the Superblend of Ylang Ylang, Neroli and Patchouli will transform your room into a sanctuary and enable deeper relaxation. If you prefer a candle (who doesn’t love one), then try our petitgrain and jasmine candle or our relax, love, sleep trio for round-the-clock relaxation.
