Festive stress piling-up?
Natural stress relievers

Christmas is behind us and 2022 is around the corner, but with the holidays still in full swing you might be feeling a little frazzled and in need of some stress relievers.

The easiest fix to a stressful day is a short walk or even just spending a little time in nature. Getting fresh air and plentiful amounts of oxygen alone has been shown to affect the amount of serotonin in the body, boosting the ‘happy chemical’ inside us.

Meanwhile, study after study has underlined the impact vitamin D has on boosting mental health. The combination including sunlight is therefore a perfect remedy to reduce stress levels.

But if you don’t have the time for a quick 30-minute walk, why not try:

  • Getting your blood pumping and mood raised through some light exercise
  • Relax your body and mind with some lightly scented candles
  • We can never say no to tea, and some varieties such as green, peppermint, and chamomile have been shown to possess relaxing properties.
  • Give meditation a try, clearing your headspace can help to arrange your priorities for the day
