Share this post: twitterfacebookpinterest Whatsapp

Do you feel like your mind is racing all the time? Does it seem like there are too many thoughts constantly buzzing around in your head, and they never stop? It’s natural to feel this way every now and then, but what if this feeling starts to become constant? Well, you’re not alone. With so much going on around us, from the workplace to our homes, it’s normal to experience low moods and worry. When your mind is not at ease, it can be hard to focus, relax, and quiet your thoughts.

The good thing is, you can try out some natural calming remedies to boost your mood and help you relax at the end of a long day or whenever it suits you. These can include day-to-day tasks like meditation or alternatives like kratom for relaxation.

Calming Environment

Create a Calming Environment 

A natural way to calm down is by creating a calming environment. For example, you can turn off all the lights and light some candles or incense in the room for just a few minutes. You should also consider adding soothing colors like blue or green to your surroundings as well. These natural remedies can be effective because they reduce worry-inducing stimuli, which aids relaxation. 

You can create a relaxing environment in your home, office, or many other settings. When you start to feel low, take the time to create a natural setting that you enjoy and can escape to. There are a number of natural calming remedies available to help you create this relaxing space, which is just one simple way to calm your mind.

 

Set Aside Time to Do Something You Enjoy

When life gets too busy, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. A simple way to combat this is by setting aside time each day (even just for five minutes) where you focus on taking care of yourself. This could mean a long bath, having some quiet reading time with a good book, watching your favorite TV show, learning a new skill, or even completing that renovation project you’ve had in mind. 

Whatever the activity is, try to create time to focus on the things that make you happy. Over time, combining this with other natural calming remedies should help you relax more and quiet your mind, even when faced with difficult circumstances.

 

Practice Deep Breathing Exercises for 10-20 Minutes Daily

Consistently and routinely practicing deep breathing exercises for at least ten minutes daily can work wonders. Breathe in deeply through your nose, filling your abdomen with air before slowly releasing the breath out of your mouth. You may also want to take time each day to concentrate on a positive affirmation or mantra that you find uplifting for five minutes.

Deep breathing exercises can help calm a busy mind and make it easier to fall asleep at night, which, in turn, promotes natural sleep aids in your body such as melatonin production. These natural calming remedies can be utilized by anyone, but may be especially helpful to people who have tendency to overthink or worry.

 

Try Aromatherapy With Lavender or Chamomile Essential Oil 

Essential oils are natural ways to ease your mind by filling your senses with scents from nature. Breathing in the calming scent of lavender or chamomile can help you relax and reduce feelings of worry, which leads to a natural sense of peace. Aromatherapy works great when combined with herbs like kratom. Try diffusing essential oils in your home or office to fill the room with aromas that promote peace and tranquility.

Be sure to use a carrier oil, like coconut or olive oil, when applying certain essential oils topically. Again, be careful not to overdo it because too much can lead to skin irritation. The benefits of natural calming remedies can be long-lasting so that you can enjoy the natural benefits for hours after use.

 

Listen to Calming Music 

Listening to music is a great way to relax and quiet your mind. Studies have shown this helps alleviate day-to-day worries and brings about calm feelings in your body and mind. Music has the power to both relax and energize us, which makes it an excellent tool when seeking ways to find peace. Here are some tips for choosing the right music or sounds to help calm your mind:

  • Pick a genre of music that you like and listen to it
  • Find natural sounds in your environment (birds chirping, waves crashing) and play them until they help calm down your mind
  • Consider listening to natural sounds or calming music before bedtime to help lull you into a deep sleep

 

Explore Nature Around You

If you’re feeling low, it could be a response to the busy environment around you. Nature can reduce tension by relaxing your mind. Even just looking at trees or flowers can induce feelings of calmness and contentment. Take some time during daylight hours every day or at least every weekend to try to engage in these easy, natural calming remedies:

  • Take short walks and immerse yourself in the beauty of natural settings
  • Take deep breaths of natural air and fill your lungs with as much oxygen as you can
  • Enjoy the company of living things by sitting near a tree or other plants 
  • Get outside for natural sunlight to help regulate melatonin levels, which will make you feel better during daylight hours 
  • Go for a hike or visit a local park to get a natural dose of endorphins
  • Volunteer with a local organization to help maintain natural environments or habitats
  • Do some meditating in nature, appreciating and reconnecting with the world around you 
  • Plan vacations outside of busy cities into more natural settings where life is calmer

 

Practice Yoga Poses That Calm the Mind and Body

One of the natural calming remedies that can help you relax is yoga poses. Yoga is an effective way to calm your mind and body, with many poses specifically designed for this purpose. Try these three yoga poses:

  • Downward Dog Pose – This pose stretches and lengthens your spine, increasing blood flow to your brain and relieving stress on both the body and mind. 
  • Child’s Pose – This pose helps you find a sense of peace and allows you to take time to tune into your emotions. 
  • Seated Spinal Twist – This pose helps relieve tension around the spine and stretches muscles that can become tight after sitting or standing for long periods.

 

Try Natural Herbs Like Kratom for Relaxation

Alternative herbs are also great natural calming remedies that can help you achieve a state of relaxation. Think of herbs like kratom, Akuamma seeds, and passionflower, which all promote calmness. Kratom is one of the most popular natural herbs that tends to be associated with relaxing, calming down, and getting a better night’s sleep. Kratom has been used in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years by locals as traditional medicine, as it comes from the leaves of the Mitragyna Speciosa tree, found mainly within that region. 

Kratom has become fairly well known for its soothing, energizing, and euphoric aromas. It’s available in a variety of strains with different levels of potency and effects. Kratom is also available as a plain leaf powder, liquid kratom, kratom capsules, enhanced extracts, and kratom variety packs.
