With work, home and all the directions we are often pulled in life, its sometimes easy to fly off and get overly upset about little things. Here are some tips to help you reduce stress, so you have more self control and awareness in your life.
1. Exercise or Dance
All forms of movement, release stale and stagnant energy and reduce stress
2. Meditate

3. Change your food
Move away from processed food and foods with high sugars. Nutrition is the key to a healthy body. Processed foods and sugars build up toxins in the body, which increases internal stress and weight. Also, drink lots of water. Reduces stress load of the body. It flushes out toxins, and hydrates.
4. Monitor your breathing
reduce your breathing to about ten breathes a minute.
Slower, deeper breathes circulate oxygen to the lungs, which helps to release toxins within the lungs. This enhances vitality and regeneration and slows the aging process.
5. Play and Laugh
This increases your light and provides you with inspiration in life to resolve challenges.

Essential oils trigger neuropathways in the brain which change your body chemistry. Lavender and jasmine promote inner peace and joy… And they smell good too. (The higher quality, the better the results)

and take care of them.
