De-Stressing During Pregnancy Without Wine or Coffee

Stress is such a frequent occurrence in our modern lives. We have so many stressors that build up. De-stressing techniques are extremely important to our lives so that stress does not build up and cause negativity in our lives and relationships. A lot of people default to things like wine, coffee, and comfort food for de-stressing. But what happens when those methods are not available? Either you are cutting back for health reasons, or have just decided that you need to find other ways to deal. For me, my favorite de-stressor is having a nice cup of hot tea, especially while sitting in the sun. Being pregnant in the winter, during a pandemic, that is not always an option. So I'm going to share with you some of my favorite alternative de-stressing activities. Some of these are great short term strategies, and some of them are more long term strategies. I use a mixture of both in my everyday life. Long term strategies are to set you up for success in the stressful moments.
