April 30, 2020. How is everyone dealing with stress? I wanted to post something for April Infertility Awareness month. And stress can certainly adversely affect hormones via the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal axis. So here are three simple stress reduction tips for those trying to conceive and well, for everyone who is finding these times trying.

1) Breathe deeply for three breaths. Take a deep breath as if you are holding a flower right in front of your nose and want to breathe in the sweet smell. (Example this picture of a fragrant tangerine blossom)

2) Write down 3 things you are grateful for. Keep a gratitude diary.

3) Take a warm shower right before bed to help fall asleep. Improved sleep is great for our moods and our health.
