Practicing Yoga to Reduce Stress (Plus a Few Yoga Poses to Try!)

September 26, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

Before I developed a hiatal hernia, one of my favorite things in the world was yoga. I would carve 30-45 minutes out of my day, 5 days a week, to enjoy a session. I used a Book by Raquel Welch to learn the poses and Raquel opened up the wonderful world of yoga for me.

Not only did I practice yoga in my “carved out” time, I’d also find myself doing the poses wherever I happened to be – in the kitchen while watching the stove, in the yard in between feeding cats and filling bird feeders, while watching old movies… anytime I wanted a great stretch!

Yoga isn’t just enjoyable, it’s extremely relaxing. Plus, learning new things is great for the mind.

While the infographic below is titled, “The Benefits of Yoga for Addiction Recovery” and while it would, I’m sure, be wonderful for those overcoming an addiction, make no mistake about it – yoga is beneficial for everyone.

Guide to Managing Your Emotions with Aromatherapy

October 15, 2015 by Joi Leave a Comment

Aromatherapy Infographic
Ironically, when I was contacted about sharing the beautiful infographic above with my Self Help Daily readers, I had just been talking about aromatherapy with two of my three daughters.

Life’s sense of irony always fascinates me.

We had been discussing the wonderful effects from Lavender and Vanilla. I told them that, years ago, when I lost my dad, I had A LOT of trouble unwinding and falling asleep at night. I found that lavender helped calm my frazzled nerves and even soothed my shattered emotions.

Vanilla has a similar effect.  Whether (like me) you work from home or outside the home, you know certain days just have stress written all over them. I once threatened to rename a particular Tuesday “Bluesday” because it did nothing but cause me grief from sunup to sundown.  On days like this, I just automatically reach for one of my favorite candles – usually vanilla or lavender – but I always have seasonal ones on hand as well.

Pumpkin, cinnamon, and evergreen make the world a sweeter place too.

I hope you enjoy the infographic above as much as I did.
