Stress-Relief Techniques for Moms
Breathe In, Breathe Out
Yeah, yeah, we know you breathe 24/7, but you do it unconsciously. Mindful, deep regular breaths are the easiest and most effective stress relievers ever. Just like in yoga class, spend as much time inhaling as exhaling, and focus solely on the oxygen nourishing your body. If you know you've got a trying day ahead, after your shower, dab an essential oil known for its soothing effects, like lavender or chamomile, on your wrists and deeply inhale the scent whenever you feel stressed out.
