Many years ago, on my journey to discovering “who I am,” my therapist told me that I was under chronic stress. Baffled, I said, “No, not me.” There was nothing new going on in my life that was putting added pressure on me, but he pointed out that it didn’t need to be anything new. “It’s that you’ve reached the limit of your capacity to cope and it’s starting to affect your health,” he said. Since then, l’ve learned (and still learning) to recognize and address stress and stressors in my life, and adjust accordingly. And You can too. Head over to my blog and read how you can stress less and enjoy more peace and happiness, today! www.fayferguson.com/blog #newblogpost #stressless #worrybreak #busywoman #busywoman #epicliving #epiclifebychoice #createyourepiclife

Think of One Good Thing That Happened Before Bed

An excellent way to improve your mental health is to think of something good that happened to you every day just before you go to bed. This will help you develop the habit of channeling positive energy and recognizing the good things in your life.

Declutter Your Mind

Managing your mental health is a lot like tidying a room so that you want to spend time in it. Spot unhelpful thought patterns and get rid of the clutter that prevents you from seeing things clearly.

I love starting off each day with an intention. This intention is a personal commitment, which can be as simple as “I will be happy today” or more detailed based on my own personal challenges. This allows me to focus on the positive and approach the day with love. When we live life with intention we are present in the moment, mindful that everything is connected, and allow time for reflection. ⁣ I have some new offerings on @alomoves so many requested a longer Soundbath without the guided meditation, so you can “Dive Deeper” with me and my crystal singing bowl Soundbath. Anddddd the Amethyst meditation- where I guide you through a meditation based off of the properties of the amethyst crystal. Hunt: there are more crystal meditations on the way too 💜
