This is a little different from what I normally post, and a little longer, so please bear with me lol.

I'm heading to South Dakota this weekend for a quick camping trip, and let's be honest, bugs have been bad this year. So, I wanted to make sure I was packed and ready to go with my bug prevention plan. I also wanted to test said plan before getting into the 'thick of it' so I applied to one half of my body and headed into mosquito territory.

I use Practicality No Bug Chomp lotion from Emerald Healing Arts & Apothecary I like to use it with an anti-tick blend I make at home! I melt down coconut oil and mix in cederwood essential oil, this not only helps with ticks but putting a carrier oil as the base before applying the lotion helps it last even longer. You could even layer Practicality No Bug Chomp Oil, andddd for extra protection use their incense sticks! I didn't find this combo greasy at all, in fact it melted right into my skin and it smelled amazing. Like seriously I can't stop smelling my arm. If you want to be extra cautious, you can also layer a bug spray like the one made at Urban Abundance Nebraska

I found that while there were mosquitos around they mostly stayed away from me and the few that were brave enough to land picked the untreated side. Usually I can't step out of my car without a swarm of 10 all over me and I have the bites to prove it. I feel confident with this plan I'll come back from South Daktoa NOT needing an outmeal bath.

I swear there are a few things that are worse than being overstimulated. Usually I just want to curl up in a ball and disappear, but that's not always an option. Heres what I do in those moments:

Do an immediate reset. Use a grounding technique like the 5-4-3-2-1 method to bring you into the present. Splashing cold water on your face or holding an ice cube stimulates your vagus nerve and forces a reset. Gentle breathwork is also a fav of mine.

Support your body. A well-cared-for body is much more resilient to sensory triggers. This means nourishing yourself properly, gentle movement like yoga or stretching, getting adequate sleep, and limiting exposure to LEDs.

Build a sensory toolkit. This is great for those emergency situations. My kit includes loops for when the noise is just too much, a couple of different fidget toys, and calming essential oils.

Whats in your sensory toolkit?

I absolutely loveee using crystals to complement my healing! Here are some of my favs:

Bumblebee Jasper: This one is legit sunshine in crystal form! It's my go-to when I need a confidence boost or when my creative juices feel stuck. This one is also great to pair with your solar plexus.

Ruby Zoisite: This stunning green and pink crystal is pure magic. It ignites your passion and fills you with positive, heart-centered energy. It's like a little cheerleader for your soul. This one is great for your heart chakra.

Red Jasper: This deep red beauty is all about grounding energy and keeping you rooted. It brings stability and strength when life feels chaotic; it's like a warm hug from the earth herself. Perfect for those looking for support with their root chakra.

Sodalite: This one is my go-to when my brain feels scattered. It's all about enhancing intuition and bringing that mental clarity we all desperately need. Perfect for your third eye chakra.

Celestine: This one is sooo pretty to look at and is a direct line to your angels. It will bring the most peaceful, calming energy, perfect for when you need to quiet your mind and connect to something higher. This one is great for your crown chakra!

Tell me in the comments what are some of your fav crystals?

Somethings telling me you've been scrolling toooo long. Take a moment, rest your eyes, maybe get a glass of water, or use the bathroom. Stretch those legs and most importantly....BREATHE! If you feel like you need more intentional moments to pause in life, feel free to book a session through the link in my bio. At Florana Wellness were all about taking a moment to slow down and pause.

How to find peace in the storm....What does that even mean? In this analogy, the storm in the chaos you may find in life, and to find peace, you must focus on the present, regulate your nervous system, and develop inner resilience.

For anchoring yourself in the present, I love the 5-4-3-2-1 method. I use it often in my daily life, and it's a quick exercise you can do to just come back. I've talked about this method more in depth in other posts if you're interested in learning more. I also love a good breathwork exercise. Theres honestly so many methods you can use here its just about trying different things and finding what works best for you.

Regulating your nervous system can be the tricky one in my opinion. When it comes to this I like to look for extra support. Reiki is a fan favorite for sure, but I also love acupuncture and natropathic medicine to better support my body. Its important when working with any of these modalities you seek a qualified professional to help guide you though the storm. Think of them like a lighthouse.

Building resiliance isn't about avoiding stress, its about teaching your mind, body, and spirit how to navigate it. Practices like yoga and aromatherapy can help regulate the body and relieve tension. Journaling or free writing can help you process emotions and maintain mental balance. Building social support and engaging in nature-based healing can help wth your spirit.

How do you find peace in the storm?

Who else has been stuck in the bad gut health club for longer than they'd like to admit? The tips I shared in the post are basic lifestyle changes that are needed to support your gut health, but what if you're already doing (or trying to do) these things and you need more support?

Of course, what you eat and drink is important, but have you stopped to think about how you are eating? Do you often eat on the go, in a time crunch, and stressed out? The gut brain connection is more important here then most people realize, which is why its important to slow down when eating. I try to eat at least one meal a day with zero distractions. That means no scrolling on my phone, and nothing playing in the background. I like to take a couple deep breaths before I start eating, these small changes signal to your body "food is coming, switch into digestion mode". I probably struggle with this the most but chewing your food thoroughly. Chewing food slowly and completely helps make digesting easier andddd once again it switches you into digestion mode.

Still need extra support? Thats OKAY, trust me I've been there. Personally I loved a combo of acupuncture and Reiki to help further support my gut health. Acupuncture helps by enhancing the gut-brain axis, regulating gut motility, reducing inflammation, and balancing the microbiome. Reiki helps by reducing stress, and balancing chakras such as your solar plexus which directly corresponds with digestion. There are also supplements you can, and lowkey should be taking. I firmly believe most people would benefit from a fiber supplement (be careful with this one, though, if you aren't hydrating enough, it can actually back you up).

Additional favs of mine that I swear by..... Pelvic floor physical therapy: Many of us haven't actually been taught how to properly coordinate the abdominal muscles, diaphragm, and pelvic floor, which are all critical to the process of elimination. Lastly, I love a good tummy rub. I personally use the ILU method. This relieves gas and bloating and manually guides stool through the large intestine.

Theres honestly so many things you can do to support your gut health, what are some of your favorites?

I feel like most people are familiar with the term "burnout" but what actually is it? Burnout is chronic physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged unmanaged stress. How can you beat burnout?

The very first step is recognizing you have burnout and are willinging to make a change. If you're reading this, then congratulations, you can mark step one as complete.

Boundaries!!! These need to be set and aggresively. Start saying NO to any non-essential commitments that will ultimately overload your plate.

Recovery. Start prioritizing your sleep aim to get 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night. That might mean you need to start a sleep routine. Try to move a little daily, even just a short walk outside, this will help lower your stress hormones and clear your mind.

Get help. Reaching out to a professional can make a huge difference. A qualified herbalist, for example, can get you on supplements to help with adrenal support. An acupuncturist can help by shifting your body out of fight or flight. Reiki can give you a much needed pause to rest.

Have you or are you struggling with burnout? What has helped you?

Do you struggle with speaking your truth? Maybe the opposite... maybe you share too much. Maybe you struggle with overreacting or lying? These are all signs of a throat chakra blockage. Here are some of my favorite exercises that can be paired with Reiki for lasting healing.

Singing or humming of any kind. This creates physical vibrations that break up energetic blockages. Vocalizing and clearing these energetic blockages helps open the way for authentic expression.

Journal and speak your truth. Writing down your feelings and speaking them aloud can release blockages. It can help you confront subconscious blocks by providing a safe emotional release and creating a bridge to your unconscious mind.

Chanting. Using mantras or sounds like "HAM" rewire the brain by stimulating the vagus nerve making this option especially good for anxiety, depression, negative thinking, and/or lack of purpose. Some of my favorite affirmations to chant are "I have a right to share my truth" "I express myself freely" "I communicate with love"

Neck rolls and stretches. This works by releasing physical tension, which helps release emotional blockages you have stored in your neck and shoulders. When you do this with awareness, it helps you to build a heart-mind connection, which will in turn help you speak your truth.

Which of these will you try?
