Hi all- I’ve recently been reaching for some anxiety-calming remedies that have helped me deal with the stressors of daily life, work, and the impact of closely following headlines around the globe.

1. Exercise - going for walks and runs has seriously helped get my nervous energy out

2. Drinking herbal tea such as camomile or peppermint is super soothing

3. Smelling dried lavender or lighting candles provides a calming atmosphere

4. Playing ambient noise and doing guided meditations/breathing exercises via the Calm app helps me refocus during the work day or when I’d like to drift off to sleep.

While these 4 go-to’s have helped me a lot (and I hope they help someone reading this, too) I’d like to ask what other tips people use for keeping anxiety at bay as I look for more techniques to add to my arsenal. 

Thanks all, and wishing you a mellow week ahead! :)
