change your perspective for Spring Equinox

Spirit and body work together; When our mind is anxious and busy, our bodies often emit meaningful signs. You may notice that if you are worried, you will tend to bend your shoulders, stop your breath or look at the floor. In the same way, this sends this when our body is bent or looking at the floor, a signal to the mind that we feel concerned or stressed, and the cycle continues. Concentration on improving posture through awareness and yoga practice can make a big difference in the way we stand, sit and therefore think, but there is also a simple trick to change the perspective immediately: look up. If we look up to the clouds or stars to the tree roof, we will probably experience a moment of awe. Studies suggest that awe improve spiritual well -being and happiness, make them feel more humble and a direct way is to overcome the ego. There is a strong relationship between ego of the ilusion and awe, and we can use this emotion to recognize the underlying unit that runs through all of nature and ourselves.

Surya Bhedana (breathing of the right nostril)

The way we breathe has a really profound influence on the mind. In order to feel more calmer and more balanced, a simple practice of sama vritti or 'the same breath' can be very effective - practice by inhaling, holding five, breathing five and holding five more. Repeat five times.

The author James Nestor has also included several studies in his book breath, This showed that real physical changes can occur when practicing Surya Bhedana. To practice this spring equinum, simply close your left nose hole with a finger or thumb and breathe calmly and slowly through the right nostril for 12 rounds. Try it out!

they complement each other with nutritional supplements and herbs

I examined my fair proportion of herbal remedies and nutritional supplements, and when it comes to compensation for the mood level, these are some of the best natural connections that I have encountered. As always, it is important to consult a doctor who you trust before you start with supplementation or herbal remedy, and only take these things a few times a week, not every day.

Ashwagandha:

A tonic for men and women, Ashwagandha is an adaptogen and literally helps body and mind to adapt to stress factors. This herb comes from ancient Ayurvedic medicine and has been used for centuries to increase the resistance, to reduce anxiety and a bad mood, to improve fertility and to improve brain function. I take this regularly and have advantages, but inquire with a doctor if it is suitable for you.

lion mane:

A mushroom extract that provides demonstrably contributing to the prevention of Alzheimer's, is an effective remedy for PMT and supports the cognitive function. I personally have the feeling that my mood is much more balanced, and I can concentrate a lot more and feel motivated when I take a teaspoon of this medicinal mushroom. Especially on days when I know that hormones are involved in mood swings, this can help to calm and calm an anxious or irritated mind.

fish oil:

Our body needs a good amount of fat to compensate for the mood level. The brain not only consists of a large percentage of fat, but the padding around each of our cells consists of fats, and it is important that they maintain a certain amount of "padding" so that the cells can communicate effectively. Simply said; If we don't have enough fat in our diet or in our body, our mood levels really suffer. Try to use healthy fats from high-quality oils, avocado, nuts and seeds, and also add a high-quality omega-3 or fish oil supplement if it is suitable for you.

Create your Spring Equinox Happiness List

deal with things that give us the feeling Happy is an important part of life, but too often it is moved to the bottom of the to-do list or left out completely. If you feel depressed or anxious, think back about the last time you actually did something, that was fun and that made you feel happy. was it all too long ago? If happiness has been lacking in life lately, try this technology to bring it back in this spring conversion:

Write a list of 10 things that make you happy (this could literally be something: paint, work, dance, interact with friends, run, play an instrument or listen to music, etc.) Take a look at the list and undertake to deal with at least one of these things every day. (link removed) and make it an equally important part of your day as brushing your teeth or adhering to work deadlines.

let the sunshine in

to see only the weather forecast, which predicts the warmer, sunnier days, is sufficient to improve the mood, but actually step into the sun and to absorb its energy is an effective means. according to the (link away) "We move most of our vitamin D from the sunlight between the end of March and the end of September. The body generates vitamin D through direct sunlight on the skin outdoors. But between October and early March we do not get enough." I recommend all of my customers to bring natural sunlight into their day as early as possible to restart and improve the mood. As growing research tells us, it is one of the best things to compensate for our sleeping and guard cycle and improve almost all health features to get enough sunlight every day. When you step into the light in the morning, this switches on your body watch for the day in a figurative sense and compensates for the rhythm of digestion, excretion, brain function and energy to prepare a good night's rest . When the morning after this spring equinocium becomes brighter, wake up with the sun and step outside to greet them. You will prepare for a much lighter and lighter day.
