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. Try this exercise for Diaphragmatic breathing (belly breathing): 1. Sit or lie flat in a comfortable position. 2. Put one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest. 3. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and let your belly push your hand out. Your chest should not move.... 4. Breathe out through pursed lips as if you were whistling. Feel the hand on your belly go in, and use it to push all the air out. 5. Do this breathing 3 to 10 times. Take your time with each breath. 7. Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.

Winter and dry, itchy skin don’t have to go hand in hand. Below are some ideas to help deal with dry skin place a humidifier in the room where you spend the most time (your bedroom or couch most likely). A cool air humidifier increases the moisture level in the air increase your water intake. Don’t overdo it with alcohol and caffeine, as they are diuretics that will cause dehydration use a thick moisturizer on your hands before bed and a hydrating lip balm (I’m a fan... of glysomed and blistex) despite how many serums and creams are applied, dry skin will stay dry without some light exfoliation. Pick up a gentle scrub or for those with severely dry skin, skip the exfoliator and incorporate a wet washcloth instead for a gentler option. Many of these ideas have been covered by @dianapattenskincare , Master Aesthetician in her posts and stories. I’d suggest giving her a follow for more brilliant tips! See more

Whether we like it or not, wearing protective face coverings has become a part of our daily lives. While they may be recommended for disease control and prevention and slowing the spread of COVID-19, wearing a mask isn’t always a pleasant experience Essential oils can help. Before applying to your mask, dilute 2 drops of your favorite essential oil in 1 tsp of a carrier oil like olive oil or argan oil. I prefer peppermint and eucalyptus. ... TIP: Dilute in a clean spray bottle for easy application. If you don’t have a spray bottle any small clean glass or plastic bottle or container will do. If you used a spray bottle, give your mask one or two light sprays. For a less intense aroma, try spraying the outside of your mask (the side not touching your skin). If you used a bottle or container without a dropper or other applicator, use a cotton swab to dip in the diluted essential oil mix and add a few drops to your mask. #massage #massagetherapistgeorgetown #janinehoodregisteredmassagetherapist #rmt #georgetownrmt #cupping #athletictaping #goodlife #fascialstretching #rmtnearme #georgetowngoodlife #massagegeorgetown #massagetherapist #cmto #rmtao

As we navigate our day to day lives sometimes it feels like we are not making progress toward the things we want however what we don’t realize is that if we keep taking those steps at the end of the day, week, month, and year we will have achieved BIG things. Knowing the WHY is important. Why do you want to accomplish the goal? HOW will you do it? You must have a plan! If you don’t know how you are going to do it, it will be challenging to accomplish the task. You don’t have to know ALL of the steps, but you need to have a basic idea and then you need to reevaluate it early and often. WHEN? When do you want to have this goal accomplished by? You must have a deadline. If you don’t put a by when date on your goals they can easily be put off.
