Maintaining Peace of Mind For The Holidays

A. Grano has written for Native Remedies Blog in "Maintaining Peace Under Holiday Pressure" that stress and added responsibilities can make the holidays a prime time for meltdowns. Grano advises that you follow these simple tips to stay calm: 1)Take a deep breath, (or a few of them) – Breathing rhythmically will help slow your heart rate down, which in turn also relaxes the entire body 2) Close your eyes- Closing your eyes will help you re-gain a relaxed perspective. And moving your eyes from side to side while they are still closed will also help you separate yourself from the negative emotions you may be experiencing. 3) Use visualization techniques- There are certain images that you can go back to when you feel overwhelmed. Pick an image that works for you, it could be an animal, a person, or peaceful scenery. And words can be used similarly and just as effectively as mantras for meditation. Recalling your personal mantra or image can be an incredibly effective way to calm down. 4) Exercise regularly- It is well known that exercise relieves stress. One of the most important things you can do to prevent pent-up tension from wrecking health havoc is to exercise. Try to at least take a brisk walk for twenty minutes daily. 5) Watch your diet- Overindulging on foods which are high in fat, sugars, and additives is a sure way to get yourself worked up. Make an effort to limit your intake of these mood-altering foods. And for a natural remedy that works quickly to facilitate a calmed mood and soothed nerves try PureCalm from Native Remedies.
