Calcium

Calcium has been shown to lessen stress and promote a calmer mood. Take calcium supplements at night to help you to help you relax and get better sleep.

Saint John’s Wart

St. John’s Wart is a powerful and natural anti-depressant with proven effectiveness in treating mild depression. This supplement helps to elevate mood and is used frequently by people who have experienced undesirable side effects with prescription anti-depressants.

 

*Warning! If you are taking oral contraceptives or hormonal birth control, do not take St. John’s Wart – it can comprise the effectiveness of your birth control. If you have already taken it, you should use backup forms of birth control immediately.

 

Omega 3-6-9

Omega s 3-6-9 contain healthy fats which help to make your brain function the way it should, and as a byproduct, your brain is able to process stressful situations better. Omega supplements generally need a few weeks to make a difference in your mood, so they should be taken when you are not experiencing stress as well.

 

Chamomile

Chamomile is frequently ground up and made into tea to help those with a busy mind and stressed body sleep. Drink chamomile tea an hour before you are ready to go to sleep and read a nice relaxing book before you tuck in – nothing too serious though, you wouldn’t want your mind pondering politics or financial tips while you are trying to sleep!

 

Let the World Calm You Down!

Even though it’s the world that gets you going to begin with, let it work with you to calm you down too! Simple adjustments in our life can make such a difference when it comes to coping with stress. Your schedule is probably driving you nuts and adjusting is one of the first steps to living a calmer life. Carve out adequate time to wind down every day, or have “me time” – sit quietly in a darkened room, take a long bath, or just close your eyes for a few minutes and reflect at the table while dinner is cooking.

 

This is also a good time to go out and discover what nature has to offer and let yourself be reminded that the world is not a horrible and terrifying place. If you live near water, visit it – the sounds of water are known to calm the mind and promote relaxation. Take the time to watch a funny movie or go see a stand-up comedian because laughing is great for physical and mental stress relief. Basically, don’t let the stressful things in the world overpower the things in this world that make you happy – sometimes you just have to get out and experience those things again to balance out your mind!
