Overstimulated?

With the holidays coming, I wanted to talk about my favorite ways to decompress when you’re overstimulated. Here’s a list of things I do to relax but not all at the same time.

First and number one way is a variety hot waters
Tea
Bath (I dip my head under water it’s amazing.)
Shower
Hot tub
Sauna

Videos
Sound baths
Shredder Videos (The messier the better)

Movies
Dr. Strange
Dark Crystal

Rest
Dark rooms
Naps
Weighted blanket with a blanket over my eyes

Workout
Hiit (mostly for decompression)
Free weight arm workout
Elliptical
and if I still feel anxious I’ll throw in a bikeride at the end)
I don’t do all of these in one workout I chose a section of my body to focus on.

Outdoors (when it’s nice out)
Hiking
bringing my little one to the park

Snacking (I don’t suggest this one but if we’re being honest this is all part of my life)
Crunchy snacks, popcorn, chips, cookies, peanut m&ms
Candy, gummies, gum,
Sweet breads
Going out to eat
