Self Care Week 5 Minute Fixes

Time is one of the hardest things to manage. Finding time for self care can be even harder. Here are some tips to help you find balance quickly:


BREATHE. Taking a breath is one of the easiest ways to balance yourself. Close your eyes and inhale Hold. Then exhale. Open your mouth really wide on the exhale to deepen your relaxation.

You can also lay down and place both hands on your stomach. Focus on lifting your hands with every inhale and feeling them sink with every exhale.

     Meditation Apps

These two apps both have free content that can help you feel centered. Though there are features on both these apps that require payment the majority of the features are free Calm also has a reminder feature that will ping your phone when it's time to meditate.

Portable aromatherapy is also a great way to get instant calm. I like these rollons  from Aura Cacia. Be sure to take your time at the aromatherapy display to pick a scent that feels right for you.
