Secret Tool I Use to Reduce Stress

I hope this post finds everyone well!

Over the past weeks, people (including us) have offered tons of tools &information to help reduce stress, tension & anxiety.

Stress reducing tools include: exercise, meditation, prayer, counseling etc.

The ONE tool that I have used for a long time slipped my mind and I forgot to mention is listening to Binaural Beats every day for at least 30 minutes.  

What are Binaural Beats?
"Binaural beats are an auditory phenomenon in which two tones of slightly different frequencies are played in separate ears simultaneously, usually via headphones. When exposed to both tones at once, the human brain perceives the creation of a new, third tone, whose frequency is equivalent to the difference between the two tones being played.
Some evidence suggests that the tone being perceived can alter brain waves through a process called entrainment, in which brain waves align themselves to an outside beat or frequency. Since different brain wave patterns are associated with certain states of mind, from relaxed to anxious to productive, binaural beats have been theorized to impact mood, focus, and sleep by altering brain waves."   
This definition by Psychology Today sounds complicated but binaural beats are a very calming tones that are enjoyable to listen to and produce profound stress reducing results for me.

Here is a link to the beats that I have been listening to daily. Check it out!!

I enjoy listening to beats on my computer or cell phone with headphones.  I find it TOTALLY therapeutic and calming. 
Proponents of binaural beat therapy suggest that the potential benefits include:
  • reduced stress and anxiety
  • increased focus, concentration, and motivation
  • improved confidence
  • better long term memory after exposure to beta pattern frequencies, according to a 2019 study
  • deeper meditation
  • enhanced psychomotor performance and mood

There are many beat options on YouTube, so be sure to listen to a few to find one you like.  I hope you enjoy listening to binaural beats and I really hope you benefit from them as much as I do!

Happy Sunday (4/5/20)! I hope this post finds you well!  As we begin yet another week of social distancing and a new set of "social rules", I continue to search for tools to share on how to safely and effectively reduce stress & tension in the body.  In previous posts, I have shared several stress reducers and today I want to share a NEW one that I have used for over 20 years.   It's called EARTHING! Earthing  (also known as grounding) refers to contact with the Earth's surface electrons by walking or standing barefoot outside or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors connected to conductive systems, some of them patented, that transfer the energy from the ground into the body.

Who do you choose to be during these Challenging Times??

I hope this post finds you well. Time can be an invaluable resource for those who choose to use it wisely.   Being Present and making mindful choices right now is KEY! I think it's fair to assume that all of us have had a minute to pause and think about the world today.  As we continue on, we will have conscious choices to make about how you process this time and who you choose to be as a result of this time. I found this chart to be very interesting and telling.  Take a critical look at the Zones represented here:  Fear, Learning & Growth. I am not formally trained in mental health but I think this chart is a rational emotional transition for most "aware" people.  For many reasons a natural reaction to a pandemic is "fear".  The word itself is scary and throw in "stay at home" orders and "social distancing" and fear is a normal response.  The unknown consequences of a pandemic is frightening.  Many emotions are present in the...
