5 Things You Can Do Right Now to Feel Better

Stress is a potent cocktail for disease and suffering. Here are 5 quick tips that you can do regularly to feel connected, vibrant and full of joy.

1. BREATHE: Whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, take 2 minutes to do some deep breathing. Feel the oxygen bring new life to your cells and tissues, bringing in new energy and clearing any heaviness from your being.
2. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER: Most headaches, tummy aches, back aches and body aches are a sign of dehydration. Water cleanses and revitalizes all systems in the body. Drink 1-2 L. of clean, purified water every day to achieve the best results.
3. FEEL GRATITUDE FOR YOU LIFE: sending the healing vibration of gratitude through your body is a powerful way to promote connection and love for yourself and the world around you. Gratitude for life strengthens your immune system and helps you stay balanced and in perspective in times of stress.
4. EAT MORE GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES: Over-thinking and worrying taxes your body’s ability to fight infection and disease. Green Leafy Vegetables such as Kale, Collards, Mustard Greens and Bok Choy actually treat stress and provide the body with cleansing nutrients that build resistance and strong immunity. Enjoy a steamed Green Kale salad every day or add to soups and stews.
5. MEDITATE, DAYDREAM, RELAX: Building time into your schedule to stop and just be, is incredibly nourishing to body, mind and spirit. Just 5-15 minutes of mediation, daydreaming or good old sitting and relaxing calms the nervous system and clears the mind. A daily practice will help strengthen your immune system and provide long term health benefits.
