Feeling frazzled? Try our tips to deal with everyday pressures
Three handy strategies for when life gets the better of you…
1. Feeling overwhelmed at work? Try talking to someone who feels the same way. Sharing your concerns and emotional triggers with a colleague has been found to help alleviate stress levels* according to 2014 study 'Are you feeling what I'm feeling?'
2. Find yourself tossing and turning at night, with your mind running at 100 miles an hour? Create a calm headspace to drift off peacefully using Bach Rescue Night in a glass of water, which includes white chestnut essence to help you switch off those unwanted thoughts.
3. ‘Ujjayi breath is one of the quickest and easiest ways to reduce anxiety,’ says Psychologies Life Labs Om Yoga expert, Heather Mason. Use the technique any time by taking slow, deep breaths, breathing into your stomach through your nose, and making a sound like the ocean or ‘water through pipes’ on each exhale.
