My Favorite Ways to Manage Stress 🧘‍♀️💆‍♀️

Stress isn’t always loud—sometimes it’s the silent reason you feel stuck, exhausted, or inflamed.

Here are the small but powerful habits I’ve built to actually manage my stress (not just pretend it’s not there):

📵 No phone for 30 minutes after waking

🧖‍♀️ Sauna 3-4x/week to reset + recover

🚶‍♀️ Lifting + low intensity movement daily

🫖 Ashwagandha or magnesium tea at night

📓 Quick daily journal/mind dump

💧 Hydration + eating enough (even on busy days)

I do them because I know what happens when I don’t.

Burnout. Brain fog. Bloating.

Stress will show up one way or another… I’d rather meet it on purpose.

✨ Save this for your next reset day

& tell me—what’s your go-to for calming your nervous system?

Managing stress is crucial for maintaining both mental and physical health. Techniques like limiting phone use in the morning can set a positive tone for the day, reducing anxiety from the get-go. Regular sauna visits not only promote relaxation but also support muscle recovery. Furthermore, daily movement, whether through lifting or low-intensity workouts, is essential for invigorating your body and mind. Supplements, such as ashwagandha and magnesium, can also provide a calming effect if taken before bedtime, promoting better sleep. Journaling serves as a great outlet to express thoughts and clear the mind, while hydration and proper nutrition are foundational for overall well-being. Experiment with these methods, and focus on what resonates best with you. Remember, addressing stress in a proactive manner can prevent feelings of burnout and enhance your quality of life. Don't hesitate to share what works for you as well—building a community around stress management can be incredibly beneficial!

A title slide for an article on "the psychology behind BRAINDUMPING" and "how to create mental space when you're overwhelmed." It features a pink daily planner and a sticky note with a to-do list, including items like 'collect data' and 'check website'.

This image explains "The Zeigarnik Effect," stating that the brain remembers unfinished tasks almost twice as well as finished ones. It clarifies that unfinished tasks include chores, worries, ideas, conversations, or anything 'open' in your mind.

This slide defines the "Brain Dump" technique as getting everything out of your head and onto paper or a digital document. It explains that writing things down offloads them from working memory, freeing up mental energy and quieting the brain.
