Overstimulated?

Yes, yes I am.

We all have chaotic days but not all of us know how to recover in healthy ways. Some people decide to grab a drink others maybe indulge in comfort foods. Those things are ok but shouldn’t be the regular go to options. There are great ways to decompress that are healthy. Here’s a nice list of ideas.

Practice mindfulness and relaxation exercises. Mindfulness exercises can help you to focus on the present moment and let go of your worries. There are many different mindfulness exercises, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation.

Take a bath or shower. A warm bath or shower can be a great way to relax your muscles and ease tension. Add some soothing essential oils or Epsom salts to your bath for an extra dose of relaxation.

Listen to calming music. Calming music can help to slow your heart rate and ease your anxiety. There are many different types of calming music available, so find something that you enjoy.

I like to dim the lights and get under my weighted blanket after a hot bath.
