Transitioning from one season to the next can feel stressful on our minds and our bodies! It can also feel like a big shift for the kids (helloooo daylight savings time). It's good to remember to be gentle on ourselves and our children during this transition. Here are some practical tips to support you.

For our CHILDREN...

Be patient with restlessness—

just like nature, children are adjusting to more light and movement. Offer grounding activities like nature walks or simple routines.

Encourage gentle transitions— moving from one season to another can be overwhelming. Keep rhythms simple and predictable.

Honor emotional expression—Pisces energy can heighten feelings. Encourage storytelling, art, or quiet moments of connection.

For the MOTHERS...

When anxiety feels overwhelming, your body needs practical solutions, not just positive

thinking. If anxiety feels like your constant companion, remember that small, practical

actions can create powerful shifts. This week, Dr. Michelle is sharing three evidence-based

techniques that take minimal time but offer significant relief.

Here are three simple practices that take minimal time but create significant shifts:

1. Morning Sunlight: 5-10 Minutes

Why it works: Early morning sunlight exposure regulates your cortisol rhythm, which

directly impacts anxiety levels and sleep quality. Research shows this natural light

triggers serotonin production—your body's built-in anxiety management system.

How to implement:

 Step outside upon waking (before checking your phone)

 Allow sunlight to reach your eyes without glasses or contacts

 Start with even 30 seconds if that's all you have

 Wait 90 minutes after waking before consuming caffeine

2. Cellular Hydration: Quality Matters

Why it works: Proper hydration at the cellular level significantly reduces anxiety

symptoms. When your cells are properly hydrated, your body regulates stress

hormones more effectively.

Focus on:

 Filtered water (removes anxiety-triggering toxins)

Start with what you can, but honestly this is one area of health I highly

recommend purchasing the best device you can. Our body is 90% water and

creating the most natural state of water is crucial for our body to actually be able

to absorb water at the cellular level. Water outside of it’s natural state serves to

only irrigate your body not hydrate it. most affordable Brita upgrade

 Restructured water (improves cellular absorption)

You can use prayer/words of affirmations/crystals/biogeometry shapes. If you like

devices try the analemma wand

 Remineralized water (adds magnesium and other calming minerals)

My recommendations (10% off)

Begin with one glass upon waking, then keep quality water with you throughout the day.

3. Physiological Sigh: Reset in Seconds

Why it works: This scientifically-validated breathing pattern instantly resets CO2 levels

and activates your parasympathetic system, creating immediate calm.

The technique:

1. Inhale deeply through your nose

2. Take a second short inhale at the top

3. Exhale slowly through your mouth

4. Repeat 2-3 times

Use this whenever overwhelm strikes—before meetings, during stressful parenting

moments, or when anxiety peaks.

Start With Just One

These aren't just nice ideas—they're practical solutions based on your body's natural

anxiety-management systems. Choose the technique that feels most accessible and

begin implementing it today.

Remember: Consistency creates transformation. Even small actions repeated daily will

systematically rebuild your natural capacity for calm.
