And yes, the Vitamix blenders can be loud! I find that, depending on what you're blending, they can also create some fun rhythms, so I also sometimes do some rhythm play and beat-boxing while smoothies are being blended. Thanks for sharing, CJ! :) I hadn’t thought about raw food in that way, but I think I could see how that would be helpful in terms of the pure, unadulterated food being less taxing on the body.

Eating raw food is also such a huge benefit in longterm stress management. I will share a funny habit of mine. I drink lots of "Green Smoothies" in my Vitamix blender (frozen fruit and kale or spinach!). If you've heard a Vitamix blender, you know they are quite loud!! I start all my silly-sounding vocalization warmups in the morning while the blender is running, it doesn't make my voice feel so exposed or vulnerable. :) Very true on all point!

Getting out in nature is definitely a wonderful stress-reliever as well. I'm sure your dog is grateful for the hikes too! That’s great, Megan!

I must say, the thought of barking when I feel stressed makes me laugh which of course is another stress reliever. Great suggestions.

Recently I took up doing these daily hikes with my dog before I went into work. It's amazing how much more relaxed and focused I was on the days that I made that a priority. It's done wonders for my energy level! These are some great suggestions!! Recently I took up doing these daily hikes with my dog before I went into work.

If we get so caught up in the stress or frustration of not being able to accomplish what we think needs to be accomplished (in the manner in which we think it needs accomplishing), we lose our ability to approach the situation clearly and rationally. Thereby, possibly closing ourselves off from the solutions we may be seeking. Originally I was thinking that this may not apply if one hasn't had their most basic needs met (food, water, shelter, etc.), but I think that a mindful, open attitude to seeing hidden opportunity may still apply.
