To watch your videos is one of my anti-stress essentials :)

[@Kpower]

I know this is weird, but when I am stressed, I talk to myself out loud. I in a sense, split myself into to personalities. The first is my inner self. The childish me that is lost and full of emotions and the second one is the mature, logical me. Then I make my childish self ask my mature self for advice. For some reason, after doing that, I always feel like I just talked to my mom or my grandmother. I think it's because I allow myself to organize all of my random stressful thoughts into two imaginary people.

[@DanniRox999]

I thought it was just me! It's one of the most helpful things I do when I'm stressed tbh.

[@dianaperez8457]

K-power i do the same ❤

[@starbetker2835]

I totally do that. I basically act out what is stressing me out. Until I find that it’s been dealt with lol

[@priscillajimenez27]

I think many of us do that.

[@afnanaldimasi]

Oh my god, perfect timing! I was feeling a little tired then I saw you video. I lit my salt crystal candle, inhaled a blend of metabolizing essential oils, did deep breaths, and made myself chamomile tea. I'm feeling better already, thanks for sharing!

[@meghanlivingstone]

Aw that is wonderful! I'm just about to light a candle and drink some tea, too!

[@innakoblents3286]

Thanks! Another anti-stress tip is watching other people deal with stress. By doing so, not only can you get some useful advice, you also realize you are not the only one to actually have stress (or any other kind of trouble), which helps to get through it.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Absolutely, I agree! It really helps to be able to relate to others and know we're not always alone in what we're struggling with :)

[@jenniferspoor2402]

Great tips! I really enjoy your videos, I find them very soothing.

[@LisaP831]

Jennifer Spoor I agree! I always look forward to a new video from Meghan!

[@MermaidTails7]

[@madelieverwel6270]

[@reneerobinson7722]

[@MarijkeViolin]

Hey there, I just found your channel and I really like the topics of your videos! I started a channel in August of this year, about my musical progress as an adult beginner violinist. I'm thinking of making videos about other topics as well, and because I'm a fan of simplifying/goalsetting/bullet journaling/minimalism, I searched and stumbled upon your channel. I like it and I subbed. 😊

[@janen8545]

Meghan, thanks! You not only give useful advise but help me learn english!:)

[@desireecordon8729]

I'm so happy I found your channel

[@sofiakarlsson963]

[@JoshuaDanielGeorge]

[@betsyb1374]

lol you are hilarious - I just discovered your channel and am loving it!

[@meghanlivingstone]

Thank you!! I'm happy you're here!

[@ABeautifulHorizonTV]

The background music was very calming! lol. Where do you get the music for your videos? Your picture was amazing!!!

[@meghanlivingstone]

This particular song is just one from iMovie, but I often download the music that KZbin provides, too :)

[@giuseppepagano4501]

Nice advices and videos, you just have a new subscriber =)

[@rhondapsy6668]

I felt less stressed out just by watching this video. Thank you! ;)

[@kallipsaart453]

Great ideas, thanks for your advices. You look like nice person :)

[@christopherjones1986]

Lol, stress! Get rid of it. I love that. Thanks for the great tips.

[@LuLuLinz285]

I really want to get one of those salt lamps now! I LOVE working out (yes to weight lifting, running or yoga), getting out in nature and Améo's clinical grade essential oil blend called calming breeze. Immediately helps calm me and relieve my desire to bite my nails.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Salt lamps are really lovely, and that essential oil blend sounds so incredibly nice! Hugs xoxo

[@calmdowngurl]

love your channel! just found you

[@meghanlivingstone]

Thank you!! Glad you're here :)

[@jackieg6926]

I am going to buy some clay and start sculpting! I really like doing it and i forgot how relaxing it is. It was something that didn’t really have a point because the finished products don’t look very good lol. But I do love it and it is so relaxing and fun! Great advice :)

[@meghanlivingstone]

I've always wanted to try sculpting! You've reminded me to give it a try sometime! :-)

[@jackieg6926]

Meghan Livingstone my favorite is buying a huge chunk of clay from a pottery store and just making anything! The best part is you can keep using that clay over and over again if you keep it sealed properly!

[@SemplicementeSE]

Amazing!!!! Greetings from Italy! :)))

[@helenest-onge3199]

You are so funny! :) You give me a bit of sun in my day :)

[@stephanierodriguez7387]

I love your videos!!!!1

[@livkoopai5621]

thanks for the great video. I've now subscribed! (and brought some magnesium, frankinsense and a journal!)

[@meghanlivingstone]

Yay! So happy to hear :)

[@Losolivas]

Hi ,Meghan. New here in your channel. Thank you very much for your advise,really helps. I just lost my husband Sep 25 of 2017 and all of this will.help me alot. Your drawing is beautiful I do not draw but will find something to keep me more relaxed. One day at a time. God bless.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Hi Laura! Thank you for your comment! I'm so sorry to hear. I hope you'll enjoy exploring some of the tips I mentioned (especially art or something else you find relaxing!) Big hugs! xx

[@LisaEicholtz]

What do you think of Charlotte Web for anxiety etc ?

[@azraimamovic9392]

could you do a video on essential oils?

[@enahsngc9470]

You are so sweet, Great tips, thank you! :)

[@reganwebster8385]

I love drinking tea. Skullcap is my favorite calming herb.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Skullcap is great!

[@bstrong5016]

I tried ashwaganda recently and it is amazing! It reall has a positive effect within 30 mins, but there are no negative effects to worry about.

[@lilliput112]

just a heads up, anyone with a lower blood pressure should be careful with it! I never heard about it being problematic, but one suggested dose honestly made me almost pass out for whole day - and only when researching specifically about this I found that it can be problematic!

[@angeladyson7367]

Wow! You can draw! that picture is impressive. Thanks for the video and the tips. I love the smell of bees wax candles. What is he best way to take ashwaganda and rhodiola? I have them in tinctures but obviously there's a slight amount of alcohol as a preservative in them. Do you have any advice on this?

[@Beepbopboop19]

Angela Dyson Ashwagada can cause possible miscarriages, or issues for pregnant women, so careful if trying for a baby:)

[@angeladyson7367]

Tara Hays Thank you so much; good advice and perfect timing for the advice. What about Rhodiola; can this also carry the same risk? 😐

[@angeladyson7367]

Tara Hays After your advice I decided to look up Rhodiola as I just queried that with you as well. Apparently Rhodiola can aid the thyroid, correct irregular menstral cycles as well as be an aid in preparing for healthy pregnancy so I'll add that along with a few other things I know about. Have a good day. 😊

[@mermaidscorpio7922]

I use essential oil, drink teas , read a book, make some art and organizing distresses me

[@ElectraHorvat]

You're the perfect human

[@liveaton3258]

I love to relax but I'm not aloud candles anymore as my dad gets worried that I'll set something on fire and I be tried fairy lights instead but they don't make me as relaxed. Do you have any alternatives or advice?

[@sleepingwhale]

amazing tips! thanks :)

[@fatimahabib9735]

You are alot like Candice King 😍💓 your videos are de stressing

[@libby_abson9359]

if you struggle with anxiety stress or low mood taking valerian drops or tablets each day makes a massive difference its been a life saver!

[@Beepbopboop19]

Ashwagada can cause possible miscarriages, or issues for pregnant women, so careful if trying for baby:) Great video!💗

[@ferretsam]

I think there are quite a few herbs/teas that aren't safe during pregnancy/breastfeeding. People should always triple check whether or not things are safe first.

[@Beepbopboop19]

Swaussie butterfly yes completely agree. :)

[@9Nikko8]

+Swaussie butterfly indeed, pregnant women have to always check before drinking some tea and always check on the quantity they are qllowed to drink

[@floatingthoughts]

hot bath, massage, hot tea, yoga, music for relaxation :)

[@nmernst]

Hobbies :).

[@alittleworld5]

Hay meghan y dont u make a dance vlog ... jst an idea

[@jenjenm8457]

GABA & L-Theanine supplements are good for anxiety

[@meghanlivingstone]

Definitely! Theanine is great :)

[@huawang4606]

I really love how you describe weight-training! So energetically cute!!

[@CreationsByWally]

I like your videos but what I need is someone to watch my 3 kids. Maybe a nanny. Oh well not gonna happen but good tips

[@priscillajimenez27]

You can do the lamp/candles, magnesium, and essential oils. Depending on the ages of your kids maybe you can all go for a walk, do yoga together which can incorporate breathing, play sports, or dance around the house. After they go to bed, you can take 5min in bed to journal. Hope these help!

[@CreationsByWally]

@@priscillajimenez27 yeah we do all these things. I definitely need to take a bath and relax more. My kids dance, do yoga, go on walks, bike ride, play tennis. list goes on. LOL Im just griping. Great ideas, keep them coming.

[@meganturnbull6148]

Nice video, but the music is really distracting and annoying

[@baela2527]

this stressed me out

[@stephanieying4317]

Thank you. All tips are really really useful. Your video always the great one ♥♥♥
