#1 Get Enough Sleep 

Sleep is super important, and it’s even more important during times where we are experiencing higher levels of stress. During sleep, the body rests, restores, and not getting enough sleep can make stress worse. 

So, try to prioritize sleep even if it means getting to bed a half-hour earlier and working your way up to getting that solid 7-8 hours each night. 

#2 Try Adaptogens

Adaptogenic herbs are great for helping support our stress response. They can help restore a level of balance, helping you feel a bit more calm and centered. You may even notice an increase in energy or productivity. 

If you’re interested in seeing how adaptogens can support you during this stressful time, check out our Yingery (for women) and Vigor (for men) blends. 

#3 Stay Present 

Staying in the present moment is a great way to help ease anxious thoughts about what’s to come. Try to stay as present as possible, especially when you feel your mind wandering. 

When you feel overwhelmed or anxious, take a few deep breaths and recenter, focusing only on the present moment. Using this valuable practice of mindfulness can be a powerful tool during times of stress.

So, use these tools to support your body now and use these anytime in the future when you feel your stress levels getting too high.
