Feeling Overwhelmed? Create Your Own Ritual to De-Stress and Rebalance

With these uncertain times, stress has been creeping into many of our lives and setting up shop. So, we have to look at creative ways to calm and destress so we can maintain balance to overcome any challenge that life presents.

Create your own bliss ritual or borrow one of mine!

1. My fave way to unwind? With tea therapy! My latest yummy find can be found at the Aveda shop. You can stop by any Aveda store and drink a cup of the Aveda tea before buying – what’s better than that? The licorice root and peppermint blend relaxes the mind and whisks me away to a world filled with peaceful bliss…

2. If tea’s not your thing, then try some aromatherapy! A few drops of lavender on your pillowcase is a great way to reduce a headache and get a good night’s sleep.

3. Stop and just BREATHE. When anxiety, fear or worry’s causing chaos, remember to take a few deep breaths and just ask your angels for spiritual comfort. Spend some time in quiet meditation listening for answers. They’re always right around the corner ready to reach out a hand and help. Archangels Michael and Raphael work in tandem to dissolve all fears and concerns and instill a sense of protection and healing.

4. Call a friend and rant. Release all those concerns out into the Universe so you can get it out of your system and move forward. Sometimes a friend’s fresh perspective or supportive ear is all you need to regroup. Even better than that? Get together with your favorite people, mingle with new faces and just go out and have a great time!

5. Crank up your fave playlist and soak in a perfect bath. Light some soothing candles and let your cares dissolve away in the bubbles.

6. Laugh out loud. Dance. Create a movie night at home by yourself or with friends that consist of movies that just make you feel good.

7. Get a free makeover at the mall.

8. Be showered in love by your furry friends. They can sense when we need some extra TLC and before you know it, the dark cloud has passed and only smiles remain in its wake.

As my wise mother once said, do not place your energy into worrying about the present or future outcomes. It just leads to more stress, which amplifies and draws to us that which we do not want. There is amazing power in our thoughts and what we allow ourselves to focus on. So, when life is presenting challenge, take this as an opportunity to shift our thoughts on what we wish to attract into our lives, envision it as if it is already in our present reality and then call in the angelic committee of divine helpers to create forward movement. We can all move mountains. We just have to belief in ourselves and in our ability to create positive change.

Blessings of peace and laughter!
