Try Yoga or Meditation
Both yoga and meditation are practices which involved grounding the mind and body. Try taking a few moments out of your day to pause and ground your mind. Just this simple practice can help you to find peace and to cope with the stress of navigating the situations caused by COVID-19.
- Meditation – Meditation doesn’t just help with short-term stress relief, either. It also provides lasting stress relief and can help you train your mind to remain calm in stressful situations. There are many different forms of meditation, so don’t be scared to explore what works for you. Some people use a mantra which they repeat either internally or out loud in order to focus their mind. Another method is to simply focus on being in the moment and paying attention to the things that you see, hear, and smell around you. If you don’t feel confident diving right into meditation, there are plenty of apps that you can use to help guide you through a meditation practice. You can also check out some great YouTube videos of guided meditations to get you started!
- Yoga – Yoga is a form of meditation that involves movement and relaxes and stretches your muscles as you focus on the breath. This practice uses light exercise and controlled breathing in combination with focusing your mind on the present and the practice you are completing. This powerful combo helps to relieve stress and relax your muscles. The great news is that as you continue to keep a yoga practice you’ll find yourself gaining more and more benefits from incorporating it into your lifestyle – you may find yourself gaining flexibility and focus. Additionally, yoga is great for spiritual and psychological growth and can be a huge helper in bringing peace into your life. There are a variety of apps, online classes, and youtube channels you can check out to get you started on your yoga journey!
