We all experience stress in our lives, which can impact our hair and, ultimately, lead to an increase in hair thinning or shedding. And if you’ve ever been told to “manage your stress” as a solution, you might be wondering how exactly to do that. At Nutrafol, we know the importance of stress management, so we’ve developed a few tips to help.
A great stress management tool is developing healthy habits, and having a consistent morning routine can help you start the day out on a peaceful note.
Here are a few ideas for developing healthy morning habits—and making them stick:
Make it obvious. Choose a physical reminder of your new habit and place it somewhere you’ll see it, like setting out your yoga mat the night before or placing your journal by the chair you have your morning coffee in.
Make it attractive. Make your new habit feel like a treat by reserving your favorite sneakers for walking, or lighting a candle to make mindful movement more aesthetically pleasing.
Make it simple. Set small goals. Try journaling for 5 minutes at a time or moving mindfully for 10 minutes—no need to pressure yourself.
Make it satisfying. Keep track of your progress, and don't forget to reward yourself for staying consistent.
