5 Simple Ways to Relieve Stress and Anxiety

Reviews · 

While it’s totally normal to feel stressed and anxious from time to time, if you feel your mood is having a major impact on your day to day life, there are numerous strategies that you can take to help. Whether you work long hours at the office, or you’re looking after the kids, here are 5 simple ways to relieve stress and anxiety.

Regular Exercise

Regular exercise is one of the most important steps that you can take in your quest to combat stress. While it may seem contradictory, exercising and putting physical stress on your body can be constructive in relieving mental stress. If you exercise regularly, you will receive tons of benefits. There are lots of exercise routines and physical activity that may capture your interest, such as walking, yoga, dancing, or jogging.

Consider Supplements

There are several supplements that promote stress and anxiety reduction. Whether it’s omega-3 fatty acids or lemon balm that you’re after, did you know that you can find them all online? Websites like Chemist Direct sell vitamins and supplements that are specifically designed for stress and anxiety. Before you purchase supplements, it’s best to consult with your doctor first, as they may interact with medications you are on or include side effects. Your doctor will be able to advise you further on supplements that may benefit you.

Light a Candle

If your stress levels are through the roof and you’re feeling anxious, burning a scented candle may be able to help. There are scents like lavender and rose which are known to be especially soothing. Using scents to treat your health and wellbeing is known as aromatherapy. There have been several studies carried out that show how aromatherapy can improve sleep and decrease anxiety levels.

Reduce Caffeine Intake

If you’re the type of person that can’t start the day off without a cup of coffee, the caffeine you ingest could be having a huge effect on your stress and anxiety levels. Caffeine is a stimulant that is found in tea, coffee, energy drinks, and chocolate. If you have high doses of caffeine, this can increase anxiety. If you have noticed that caffeine makes you anxious or jittery, it’s advised that you cut back. Moderation is key, so sticking to a couple of cups a day is best.

Write It Down

Another great strategy to take to handle stress is by writing your thoughts and feelings down. If you’ve had a busy day and can’t seem to switch off, pouring your emotions out onto paper may take the weight off your shoulders and help you relax and unwind before a busy day ahead. Focusing on your thoughts and the positive aspects of your life can boost your spirits and help change your mindset for the better.

High levels of stress and anxiety can stop you in your tracks. If you are finding it hard to switch off or you feel your mood is having an impact on your productivity, there are numerous tactics that you can implement into your routine which can contribute towards lifting your spirits.

giveaway · 

Hanukkah 2019 will begin in the evening of Sunday, December 22 and the centerpiece of the Hanukkah celebration is the Hanukkah or menorah, a candelabrum that holds nine candles.

The Fort Schuyler Trading Company is sponsoring a 100% Pure Beeswax Menorah Hanukkah Taper Candles giveaway and as a bonus, Crooked Brook is throwing in one, Fleece Blanket (winner’s choice of color), one Sweatshirt Blanket (Royal Blue) and one, travel/neck Buckwheat Hull Pillow made in 100% Organic Cotton Twill Fabric!

100% pure beeswax Menorah candles are smaller than taper candles but larger than birthday candles and come in a wide variety of dimensions. Because of this, they can be used in many different settings.

Fort Schuyler Trading didn’t have a menorah to take the photos of the candles, but they do have a vintage silverplate angel candle holder that they used for the photo and are including it in this giveaway.

This silverplate angel candle holder was made in Italy for the Wm A Rogers Company and imported by Oneida silversmiths, Oneida, N.Y as part of their Holiday decor line in the 1970s. It measures approx. 3 1/2″ tall by 3″ wide.
