If you are experiencing stress and anxiety, take a moment to pause, tune in, listen, and contemplate what’s hiding beneath it.

Succumbing to the fear and the panic is not helping you or your loved ones.

While we need to look after ourselves and be vigilant with our hygiene and social behaviour, not everything is out of our control.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

And stay calm.

Here are 10 tips to 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆:

• Minimise stress:
  Be discerning in the sources and the amount of news articles you are reading. While we can’t control the situation and the challenges that arise, we can choose how we respond.

 

• Meditate
  Take some time out to breathe and to connect within. Now, more than ever is paramount to stay centered and in touch with your feelings.

 

• Get a lot of sleep
  Sleep resets your nervous system and boosts your immune system. Your body’s ability to fight antibodies is reduced when you don’t get enough sleep.

 

• Maintain your movement practice
• Practise restorative practices like Yoga Nidra, Supported Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga. They are great tools to help reduce anxiety, fears and worries. Poses that target the lung meridian are particularly effective in boosting your immune defence.

I will be leading a Yin Yoga practice targeting the lunch meridian in my Facebook group later this week. Join us here: Journey Within: Access your own Power.

• Spend time in nature
  Forests and ocean side are ideal in breathing fresh air to cleanse the lungs and sinuses.

 

• Eat nutrient-rich foods
  Particularly foods rich in zinc and selenium such as lentils, nuts, red meat, eggs, chick peas, shellfish, hemp/pumpkin/sesame seeds, and eat garlic.

 

• Increase vitamin A, C, D and E intake and avoid alcohol
  Include lemons, oranges, cod liver oil, fatty fish and herrings, egg yolks, broccoli and nuts in your diet.

 

• Consider respiratory tinctures 
  Eucalyptus, lemon, rosemary, sage and tea tree essential oils are antimicrobial, antiviral, antibacterial and great to diffuse at home to get rid of germs,cleanse the air and support your respiratory function.

 

• Get some sun
  Sunshine supports the production of vitamin D, which perform an important role in the healthy function of your immune system.

 

• Reiki or Acupuncture treatments
