Breathe Right and Calm the Mind

Alisha Wendell September 1, 2020

During times of stress and angst, a simple exercise can help calm our overstressed mind. It is one many people often forget, but if we are more mindful of this exercise when stress levels are increasing, we can support the body in naturally combatting stress. The simple act of breathing can help us relieve a number of health conditions. However, there is a bit of technique to reap the benefits of a more relaxed brain and healthier body.

Stress and Your Body

Alisha Wendell July 12, 2020

We all know and understand stress and can relate to the negative effects it has on our body. Despite knowing this, it is often so difficult to break out of the routine stress we encounter. This was an area I pinpointed in myself that I needed to remedy and fast about a year or so ago when I was trying to juggle more than I could handle.

Our Intention Creates Reality

For many, many years, the first thing I did was grab my phone, waste thirty minutes and then scramble the rest of the morning to figure out my day and feel productive. For months, I have consciously been working to build some better habits to create a meaningful morning, which ultimately leads to a more productive day. It is a slow process, as I have never been a morning person, but I am becoming one.

Staying Centered in Times of Stress

I was filtering through some of my previous topics in my wellness community and found that my theme for February is actually very fitting for what many of us are experiencing right now. I certainly do not live my life in fear, but the uncertainty of the weeks and months to come sure gets me frazzled (type A personality who loves to schedule and plan). Whatever the effect of current situation hold for you and your family, hopefully the next few posts will help you regain a sense of security, calmness and joy.

Alisha Wendell June 4, 2020

In the midst of an awful autoimmune flare up- which I know is due to a slack in my dietary restrictions, I began digging into other symptoms and other possible remedies. For nearly everything I searched, the same common mineral kept popping up...Magnesium.
