Today I'm sharing 4 simple, effective, instant stress relievers that you can do anywhere, anytime. These will provide immediate relief and lower your stress, anxiety, and overwhelm right now.

ELONGATED EXHALES:

When stressed, we are often taking only shallow breaths from the upper chest. A full deep belly breath helps to release pressure and tension.
 
Breathing in deeply and extending your exhale a couple of seconds longer than the inhale (i.e. inhale for 5, hold for 5, exhale for 7) sends signals to your nervous system that you're in a safe space and it's okay to rest and relax.

• Take a nice long, slow, deep breath through your nose into your belly, letting your abdomen expand fully
• Hold it for a few seconds
• Imagine you have a wand with a bubble on it - as you breathe out, be careful not to pop the bubble
• As you exhale, unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders, and soften your belly
• Close your eye

A home is a place of harmony where you can retreat from the hectic pace of the modern world to rest and rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit. It is your sanctuary - your safe haven where you feel safe, relaxed, and at peace - and the energy in your home is important to your well-being. 

As our homes are where we spend most of our time, it is important to have good energy flowing abundantly. After a time of illness, or transition, or as a complement to regular cleaning, space clearing can help us feel at peace in our environment. A cleansed and energized room feels renewed, full of light, fresh, and inviting when you enter. 

Everything is made of energy, and that energy can easily build you up and bring you down. Like our bodies, our homes can pick up heavy, negative emotions. You know that your space has a low vibration when you feel heavy and unable to relax the second you walk in the door. Negative energy takes up space, and letting go of it paves the way for new things to come in.
