Stress Management

Yoga, Meditation, Sleep

• Try sipping some chamomile tea before bed. Chamomile aids sleep. Other herbal (not caffeinated) teas might do the trick.

• For sleep, what’s your bedroom temp? 68-72degrees? Check your thermostat.

• Have you tried going to bed and getting up about the same time each day?

• Maybe stop caffeine by 2pm?

• Take time each day to listen to soothing music. Bonus: sing or dance!

• Have you tried Kirtan Kriya? I’ll show you how to do it. Contact Me.

• Maybe a reflection walk? Look online for a variety of Reflective Walks. https://www.soulplay.ca/ gives the following advice: Take a breath. Close Zoom. Turn off the screens. Get your shoes on. Get outside. Grab a friend (or not!) Start walking. Listen to your soul. Pray with your feet. Walk yourself back to life.

• Take time to unwind. Maybe try light reading of a real book or some yoga/stretching before bed.

• Breathe. There are lots of apps that can help. Try it when you’re stressed. WebMD offers the following: https://www.webmd.com/balance/stress-management/stress-relief-breathing-techniques

• 7-9 hours of sleep per night… no more, no less… give it a try.

• Can you turnoff devices 2 hours before bed?

• Try saying NO to sleeping pills.

• Wake up at the same time every day (even weekends).

• Get exposed to sunshine first thing in the morning.

• Make a list of activities that energize you. Focus on adding these activities to your routine!
