- Add 2-3 cups of sea salt or Epsom salt to your bath.
- Get outside. It is grounding and energizing. If possible let your feet touch the dirt or grass for added benefits.
- Do a breathing exercise: Start sitting cross-legged with your hand on your belly. Breathe in, then exhale completely. Inhale deeply once more, and release it in short bursts through your nostrils by contracting your abdominals quickly 8 to 10 times, as if someone were hitting you in the gut.
- Take 5-10 minutes in mindfulness or meditation.
- Sing, paint, dance or find another way to express yourself creatively.
- Indulge in a guilty pleasure – read a trashy magazine or get a latte. These are fine in moderation!
- Write down the things you are grateful for.
- Take a walk.
- Write in a journal.
- Create a vision board or collage. Spend a little time dreaming about what you want out of life and create something to remind yourself of what you are working and heading toward.
- Give a close friend a call or meet for coffee.
- Make a playlist of your favorite songs.
- Plan a date night.
- Get a 10 minute power nap.
- When you feel overwhelmed and need a 10 minute break, ask yourself, “What do I really feel like doing right now?”
