Here are the wellness crew's stress survival tips. Do things you enjoy, or do nothing at all. Perhaps spend time with loved ones or by yourself. Focus on having moments of restorative rest frequently, to prevent crashing out due to burnout. They ease muscle tension caused by stress. Traditional Thai medicine has many treatments that also aid the mind-calming process. For example, goy tong releases emotional tension through abdominal massage.
Notice as your body softens, your mind calms and your stress releases. On the exhale, chant slowly: let A resonate in the belly, U in the chest and M in the head; each sound lasting about seven seconds. Repeat this for at least five minutes to feel a wave of calm washing over you.
Keep your back flat on the floor. Breathe, sigh, release. Stay for five to 10 minutes, relaxing deeply. Experiment with different types of touch. The slower you go, the more attuned you become, amplifying both relaxation and pleasure. Mine is a minute meditation, followed by a workout, cold plunge, sauna or a walk in the woods. Then coffee, with a pen and journal. Gently heat coconut milk while whisking in ceremonial-grade matcha green tea, reishi mushroom extract, ashwagandha root powder and inulin.
Plus, take ice baths! What do you see? What can you hear? What do you feel? What can you smell? What do you taste in your mouth? Getting seven to nine hours of quality sleep can help your body and mind recover from stress.
