Stress in inevitable during the holiday season + new year. Heck, it's pretty much leaking into our lives all year round. I've learned that it doesn't have to control your life or even be present at all. With a few small changes + additions to your routine, you can have the tools to overcome + relax a little more in your daily life this coming year.
A huge change in my stress management happened when I started using Lavender Essential Oil in my nightly routine. I've always suffered from an overactive brain as soon as I hit the pillow, sometimes taking up to 3 hours to get to sleep. After trying many sleep aides + supplements, I knew I couldn't maintain a routine of pills. By recommendation from my mom, who would pretty much douse my room in lavender oil as a kid, I began using it again as an adult. I started just by inhaling it + rubbing a couple drops on my feet before bed. Soon I was using it in my moisturizer, diffusing it in my room + even bathing in it (literally).
Lavender is my absolute favorite + is one of the most versatile + useful oils you could have in your home. Not only is it the most beneficial for sound sleep but it also can help ease anxiousness, increase cognitive function, repel bugs, reduce acne, and soothe burns + sore muscles... just to name a few.
