I pride myself on being someone who keeps their zen levels pretty stable. But between you and me (and, y'know, anyone else reading this), I'm usually capable of keeping my cool because I work from home, and my home is filled with relaxing products that help you chill out. In fact, the best stress-relief products is one of my favorite topics to write about, because roughly 55 percent of my paycheck goes to stuff in that category anyway.
I'd be absolutely nowhere without essential oil concoctions, my bizarre light therapy bulbs, and the organizational products that keep my living space a soothing one. When I get a stressful email or the world just seems like it's against me, it's so helpful to have a relaxation routine that can bring you back down to a state of mindfulness and calm. A glass of wine every so often does wonders, too. Since we can’t prevent every instance of strain or worry, I’ve surrounded myself with useful items that help me out exactly when I need it most.
The best news? All these products are available on Amazon, so shipping is hassle-free and reliable, and then your cat can play with the box. Cats in boxes is another great stress-reducer; just ask the internet.
