Stress affects everyone differently, so there isn't a "one size fits all" solution for reducing stress. However, there are many things that can help you cope with stress in a healthier way.
If you feel stressed out, try these simple ways to reduce stress levels naturally:
Take Time Off
One of the easiest ways to reduce stress levels is by taking regular breaks throughout the day. Taking a break allows you to relax and recharge, giving you more energy when you return to work. If you need to take a longer break, try going outside for some fresh air, or do something else to clear your mind.
Exercise Regularly
Another easy way to reduce stress is to exercise regularly. Exercise releases endorphins, chemicals that give us feelings of happiness and relaxation. It also helps burn calories, which reduces weight gain. Regular exercise helps improve your mood and reduces stress. It also improves your energy level and makes you less likely to overeat.
Eat Well
Eating well will help you feel better physically and emotionally. Make sure you eat enough protein, fiber, and healthy fats. These foods help keep your body strong and energized. Avoid foods high in sugar and processed carbohydrates. Instead, eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats.
Sleep Well
Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep can cause fatigue and irritability, which can lead to more stress. Try to go to bed at least seven hours before you need to wake up.
To help you sleep use organic lavender essential oil in a diffuser before bed. Put it on 10-15 mins before you go to sleep. Lavender works as an anxiolytic (an anxiety reliever) and as a sedative, to increase relaxation and calm, and help bring about sleep. Shop organic lavender essential oil here and diffusers here.

Manage Your Emotions
Meditation has been shown to lower blood pressure and decrease anxiety. You can meditate by focusing on your breathing or repeating a mantra (a word or phrase). When meditating put on a calming organic diffuser blend that can be found here.
