Journalling is a great way to clear some<br />
of the circular thoughts that run through<br />
your head on a daily basis<br />
Meditation or yoga are other great tools<br />
that can help with feelings of depression<br />
or anxiety<br />
Research shows that regular exercise<br />
reduces depressive episodes<br />
Regular massage helps to increase your<br />
sense of wellbeing<br />
Spending time in nature will ground you<br />

Where I have mentioned herbs I have done<br />
this so that you can check for them in any of<br />
the products that you might purchase over the<br />
counter. Purchasing products containing these<br />
herbs are relatively low risk but please read all<br />
labels to ensure that there are no contraindications<br />
for you. I also have not mentioned any<br />
nutrient dosages, this is because everyone is<br />
different as to how much they need to take.<br />
Simply taking an over the counter product at<br />
the dosage listed might not be enough for your<br />
particular needs. Please consult with a trained<br />
health professional rather than self-prescribing<br />
herbs or nutrients. If you would like a referral to<br />
a local naturopath please let me know and I will<br />
find someone for you.<br />
