Bouts of stress and anxiety sneak up on all of us, but this year, I’ve made it my mission not to let it beat me down. When I start to feel panicked, I try to take inventory of the situation and focus on gaining perspective. It might sound counterintuitive, but I’ve discovered that the easiest way to de-stress is to be prepared. For me, that means having the right wellness products at my disposal so that all I need to focus on is breathing and taking care of myself.
I’ve gathered the items I keep in stock so when I have a quick moment for self-care, I’m already prepared. Using these products makes me feel more centered, and allows me to get back to myself. Some of them I use to keep out of a panic, and some I indulge in when I’m already feeling calm, but I consider each one an important part of my self-care routine. They include but are not limited to, quality supplements, nourishing skin care, a yummy drink, sleep care essentials, and massage tools. Take a deep breath, and shop my picks ahead.
