Essentials for coping with high anxiety days
I didn’t realize how much travel throws off my nervous system until I started doing these 🫠
These are the little “woo woo” things I come back to every time I need to feel like myself again, especially after being around a lot of people… think airports, busy restaurants, long days out, all of it:
• Card pull to reconnect and check in with my energy
• Sound bowl for heart clearing, releasing anything I picked up around other people
• Smudge spray to clear my energy + reset the space
• Crystals + natural materials because touching something real instantly grounds me
• Sensory reset through scent (also so good for easing muscle tension and recovery)
• Jade comb scalp massage… this one relaxes my whole body
You don’t have to do all of these. Start small and find one that works best for you. That’s really the whole point.
If you’ve been feeling off, overstimulated, or just not like yourself lately… try one and see how you feel 🤍

After experiencing high anxiety, especially following travel or busy social environments, I’ve found that incorporating gentle, mindful rituals into my routine can make a huge difference in how I feel. One of my favorite practices is the use of a sound bowl for about 10 minutes. The vibrations help clear my heart space, releasing any tension or energy I may have absorbed from crowded places like airports or busy restaurants. It creates a peaceful soundscape that instantly soothes the nervous system. I also rely on smudge sprays to quickly refresh my aura and reset the space around me. This practice feels like sweeping away mental clutter and negativity, giving me a fresh start to approach the rest of my day with calm and clarity. Paired with this, holding crystals or natural materials grounds me physically and emotionally. The tactile connection to something real grounds scattered thoughts and brings me back to the present moment. In addition, sensory resets through specific scents not only uplift my mood but also help reduce muscle tension after a long day. Aromatherapy with clean, natural ingredients has been a game-changer for my recovery and relaxation. One unique technique that deeply relaxes me is using a jade comb for a scalp massage. This simple act stimulates nerves and promotes circulation, helping to ease the entire body’s tension. The key to managing high anxiety is not to overwhelm yourself by trying all these methods at once. Instead, start with one or two that resonate with you, and gradually incorporate more as needed. These practices are accessible and easy to fit into any routine, making them excellent tools for nervous system regulation and self-care. If you often feel overstimulated or off balance due to hectic environments or travel, experimenting with these “woo woo” yet effective techniques might offer you a renewed sense of peace and well-being. Remember, self-care is deeply personal, so find what grounds and comforts you the most, and make it a gentle habit.
