Surviving another lockdown
The last minute announcement of the Ontario Easter shutdown caught many of us off guard. There is no stay-at-home order this time around, which means that we can still get out and enjoy the outdoors. However, it is still stressful keeping track of what's open vs closed; maximum gathering sizes allowable, grey zones vs green .... and on and on! Frankly the whole thing can be quite maddening. Don't get stressed get breathing. According to the University of Michigan department of medicine, "deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. The brain then sends this message to your body. Those things that happen when you are stressed, such as increased heart rate, fast breathing, and high blood pressure, all decrease as you breathe deeply to relax."
Another way to de-stress is with the soothing aroma of lavender. The Just Edward Lavande Roll on remedy was created to ease restlessness and reduce anxiety.
