With all the stress that accumulates in our body we don’t even know if we properly inhale and exhale. Our minds are always occupied with something or the other, Here are some tips we at Tipson recommend you try to relax your mind and soul. 

 

Take a Stroll

You just have to get your muscles moving and inhale a dose of fresh air, this is a very good start.

 

Practice good Breathing

 

Take slow deep breaths and slowly exhale when you start to do this there’s no stopping you trust us when we say it is very relaxing. As you breathe out you release all of your doubts and worries and it is very mollifying too, it helps you maintain a calm positive attitude if consistently done.

How to be mindful?

 

Being mindful is actually very easy, it is the simple act of being present in the moment. It means to be conscious by not letting out your feelings.

A person who is mindful will understand people’s judgemental attitudes and behaviours by looking into reasons why this is happening while also willing to accept it. While meditation and yoga are great ways to achieve mindfulness, people also look up to herbal remedies. Herbs are natural stress relievers with a profusion of health benefits by its side.
