The Holidays are Hard on Everyone...It doesn't matter how early you tackled your Christmas lists, or how many dozens of shortbread cookies you made. Stress still affects us all, especially at this time of the year. It is awesome to have some tools in your arsenal to know how to combat stress, even when it hits you when you are least expecting it. Below are our go-to favourites for beating stress! MeditationThis one seems obvious, but meditation takes many forms and is a lot harder than most people think. Start out with something small like a mantra, or allowing yourself 5 minutes of silence and breathing. Recite one of these mantras over to yourself. 1. All situations are temporary Nothing lasts forever. We know this intellectually. Plants die. Buildings collapse. Tires go flat. Hot cups of tea go cold. Everything is always in transition. 2. There is no wrong decision When youve done millions of pro/con lists, and you've flipped coins hoping that you you'll know which choice is the one that you want before the coin hits the ground, but you come out empty handed, you might need to know that there is no such thing as the wrong decision. 3. I've survived all of the difficult moments of my past take a moment to think about all of the things youv'e been through in your life. 4.) Be still and know We have to focus. Focus on one idea. one task. One moment. And find joy in that stillness 5.) I trust the guidance of the universe Choose to believe that whatever you're dealing with is being worked on by some entity bigger than yourself. Choose to believe that where you are is okay! You are enough. Adapted from www.thetruthpractice.com YogaYoga is one of the best stress-busters.

Healing CrystalsFrom cell phones to satellites, crystals are critical elements of practically every tech-y item in the modern world. At the same time, their extraordinary ability to store, transmit, and transform energy is equally critical in the pursuit of health, wellness, and deep spirituality. Crystals are millions of years old and were forged during the earliest part of the earth’s formation. I think of crystals as a timeless database of knowledge, because they retain all the information they have ever been exposed to. Crystals absorb information—whether a severe weather pattern, or the experience of an ancient ceremony—and pass it to anyone that comes into contact with them. Here are the major benefits (from relaxation to enhanced connection and serious empowerment) of 3 significant crystals. MusicWhen was the last time you listened to your favourite song? Or put on a really cool playlist while you cooked. Music is therapeutic, soothing and can completely alter your mood (so make sure to listen to something soothing if that is the feeling you are seeking) ... or maybe some punk rock if you need to flush those feelings out? We won't judge... just do you.
