Soothing Scents

Take a bath surrounded by the flickering lights of scented candles or diffusing essential oils.

Guided Meditation

Pause, breathe deeply and listen to a guided meditation or soothing soundscapes. Here’s a guided meditation from our very own, Laurie Poole.

Hot Tea

Sip hot tea in the early morning, when the world is quiet and calm.

Get Outside

Take a walk during the day and appreciate the beauty of nature around you.

Spend Time With Animals

Three different groups of research found consistent evidence that the relationship you have with your pet can result in greater self-esteem and physical fitness, in addition to making you more conscientious and outgoing.

Journaling

People of all ages can benefit from free-writing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Journaling allows you to clarify your thoughts and feelings, identify possible solutions to interpersonal issues or internal conflicts, and generally get more in touch with yourself.

Coloring

Art therapy has been shown to help people clarify their feelings, resolve emotional conflicts, reduce anxiety, and improve self-awareness.

Practice Yoga

Just a little yoga each week can help decrease stress, release physical tension and improve psychological well-being, self-awareness and overall relaxation.

Read Something

Pick any book that’s calling your name, then set your alarm for 15 minutes early. It’s a simple way to gift yourself a quick reading session, just for you.
