As our challenge comes to a close, we want to make sure that you are feeling light and stress-free about the idea of transitioning out of the challenge and into maintenance mode. Here are some tips from fellow Arbonne community members on how to manage stress.
- I set aside a couple of minutes every morning to write three things I am grateful for in my gratitude journal. It helps to start the day in a positive way and gives me something to remember if I get stressed out later.
- I downloaded an app that does mediation. It helps to calm me down and feel more centered.
- I like to go for a walk with my dog every day. Even if it’s bad weather. Being out in nature and getting my blood pumping makes me feel great.
- I remind myself that when I take care of myself I can take care of others better so to take time to eat healthy, get some exercise, be mindful, and sleep well is well worth it.
