Is Your New Years Resolution to Be Less Stressed?

New year, new you, but that’s what we tend to say every year. If 2023 was overwhelming and you’re looking for ways to be less stressed and more present, there are some simple lifestyle changes you can make to help you get there. Being a parent is no easy feat, especially with the pressures of schedules, careers, family members, and friends on top of everything else. Keep reading for our best tips for reducing stress and anxiety, including ​our top products to help you along the way.

Managing Your Stress and Being More Present

Ready to get your stress levels under control in 2024? Here are some simple lifestyle changes you can make to help:

• Take the time to breathe. Find some time throughout the day to take some deep breaths, stretch, center yourself, or even meditate. This can include hopping into the bathroom for 30 seconds to take some deep breaths if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
• Eat healthily. Eating a well-balanced diet helps manage stress levels. Too much sugar, caffeine, or alcohol can play a huge role in stress and anxiety levels.
• Get some exercise. Whether you’re ready to join a gym or just go on a 10-minute walk around the block, getting any kind of exercise is great for reducing stress. Getting all that anxious energy out, plus releasing endorphins, is great for the mind.
• Get plenty of sleep. As a parent, you’re probably rolling your eyes at this one! It can be tough to get a decent night’s sleep, especially if you have babies or toddlers. If this is a tough lifestyle change to get a hold of, just be aware that it is contributing to your stress levels the next time you are feeling overwhelmed.
• Grab some ​fidget toys. Anxious people tend to shake their knees, click or bite pens, bite their nails, or spend way too much time on their phones, all in an effort to get anxious energy out and keep their hands busy. ​Having some fidget toys on hand can help reduce your stress levels and be productive at the same time.
