Rejuvenate You: Carry a small “roll on” aromatherapy stick in your hand bag to use anywhere, any time when stressed, tired or feeling flat. A note from me at Twitter
Rejuvenation On The Go:
It’s time to add some potent rejuvenation tricks, tools and remedies into your hand bag or purse. Carry one or more with you at all times to balance any feelings such as stress, tension, tiredness, anxiety etc. that may arise. Feel free to switch them around (as I do) depending on where you are at in life.
- Roll on some bliss: Buy one from your local health food store. It’s a small bottle the size of a lip gloss stick with a roll on top (like roll on deodorant). A quick roll on your temples, wrists or neck can offer you instant therapeutic support depending on the essential oil/oils you use. Peppermint essential oil for headaches, lavender essential oil to relax you, vetiver essential oil to ground you or rose oil essential (my fave) to calm and add some loving energy. Or if you are anything like me you might simply prefer to take the lid off and sniff the aroma. Yum, bliss in a sniff.
- Snack smart: When you are stressed you lower your magnesium levels. Magnesium is a mineral that is essential for your nervous system and adrenals. Nuts are high in magnesium so snack on almonds, pecans or walnuts when you are feeling stressed. Nuts will handle a battering in your hand bag, can travel anywhere and offer you quality fuel in an instant.
- Yoga in a bottle: Bach’s Rescue Remedy or the equivilant here in Australia is Australia Bush Flower Emergency Essence are both exceptionally excellent for a quick fix. Both are flower essences that offer support to you in times of stressful and upsetting moments. I have personally used emergency essence for over 15 years now. It’s great for when you are feeling fearful, distressed or panicky. Every time my children hurt themselves they get 7 drops under the tongue. Emergency essences gives you the ability to cope by removing the stress and negativity from your energy fields. Calm and clear is another great combination blend from Australian bush flower essence range. It’s great if you are over committed, rushing, irritable and can’t sleep. Plus, they even make calm and clear in a hand cream. Rescue Remedy can be bought in drop form, cream, spray or lozenges you suck.
- Ward of negative energy with a crystal: Have a crystal or two in your hand bag which you can hold in times of need. Alternately pop one in your bra or pocket to remove any negative energies around you. An article I wrote a few months ago called crystals in your bra gives plenty of crystal suggestions such as black tourmaline for transmuting negative energies or labrodrite for strengthening your aura. Crystals are very clever little rocks and size does not matter.
- Hydrate your body: Did you know your brain uses a lot more water when learning something new. Also did you know that your muscles are around 75% water, blood 83% water and bones 22% water. A dehydrated body is a stressed body. Carry a bottle of quality water with you at all times. This is not really an optional item for your rejuvenation hand bag. Invite clearer thinking by staying hydrated. Invite healthier organs by staying hydrated. Eating water can actually be better than drinking it. Water content of most fruit and vegetables is over 90%. Grapes and oranges can be as high as 98%. Grapes are relatively easy to carry around assuming the day is not too hot. Of course make sure your water bottle is healthy and not loaded with chemicals and toxins.
- Spray away your troubles: Floral water sprays are easy to find at health food stores, spas and chemists. A few squirts onto your face can uplift and rejuvenate you in an instant. Floral water sprays usually have essential oils added that are particularly beneficial to your face and skin. Perfect for when you are feeling flat, hot and bothered or depleted.
- Sound therapy: Invite balance and harmony back into your body, mind and soul by listening to soothing sounds on your mp3 player. If you don’t have an mp3 player simply invite balance back into your body by humming. Yes, humming. Place your hand on your head and feel the vibration of your hum reach the top of your head. Humming is great to clear blocked energy, release built up stress and encourage all your scattered energies to come back into your body. The secret trick to humming is that you must smile. Why? Because I said so.
- Hand cream and lip gloss: Being the natural all organic girl that I am its worth visiting your local health food store to check out their lip gloss and hand creams. Most thoughtfully made products have essential oils and other nourishing healing ingredients in them such as homeopathic remedies. My lip gloss has the essential oil orange in it which unquestionably lifts my spirits in an instant. My lips love it.
- If all else fails try some hand yoga: A clever dose of hand yoga never goes astray. Place your left palm on your left ear and your right palm on your right ear. Gently move your hands as if massaging your ears in a smooth circular motion. Repeat in counterclockwise motion. Listen to the sounds of the ocean and your breathe. Repeat the mantra “I am calm relaxed and rejuvenated” to help direct your focus.

还等什么？快把青春活力放进你的手袋里吧！
作者：卡罗尔 福格蒂
让你神采焕发：在手袋里放一支香精滚珠棒，以便您在紧张，疲劳或泄气的时候能随时随地使用。 我曾在Tweitter上这么友情提示过。
让青春活力随时随地：
该是时候把一些永葆青春的秘笈和良方妙药放到你的手袋或钱包里了！为了能让您随时随地保持良好的心态，远离压力、紧张、疲劳、忧虑等懊恼，请选择一个或多个小秘笈来武装自己吧。还要根据自己的生活状态随心所欲的变换这些方法（我就是那么做的）。
1. 给自己涂点必列斯：快到当地的保健品店买上一支吧。 它实际就是像唇彩棒那样的一小瓶东西，上面加个滚珠（就像滚珠除臭剂那样）。 在你的太阳穴，手腕或脖子上快速涂几下，其内含香精油的药物疗效能瞬间让你精神为之一振。 薄荷精油能缓解头痛，薰衣草精油能让你身心舒缓，岩兰草精油能让你镇定下来，而玫瑰花精油（我的最爱）能让你冷静之余，还能给你增添几分活力。 如果你跟我很相像的话，或者你还可以把盖子拧下来闻一下它的芳香。 嗯～闻一闻，特提神。
2. 啃零食也得精明：当你紧张的时候，你体内的镁含量就会降低。 镁对你的神经系统和肾上腺至关重要。 而坚果内含丰富的镁，因此，在你紧张的时候啃一些杏仁、核桃或胡桃仁能帮你舒缓压力。 此外，坚果除了能让你的手袋更耐扁，还能在出游的时候为你迅速补充充足的能量。
3. 瓶子里的瑜伽：巴哈急救花精或澳大利亚灌木花精都对紧急治疗有奇效。 两款产品均萃取花之精华，在你紧张和郁闷的时候能给予你帮助。 我本人至今已经使用这种急救花精超过15年了。 在你感到恐惧，意志消沉或痛苦难堪的时候尤其有用。 每次我的孩子受伤害了，他们都会在舌头下面滴上7滴。 通过净化你能量场内的紧张与消极，急救花精能让你面对任何情况都游刃有余。 “Calm and clear”是澳大利亚灌木花精的另一伟大分支产品。 它对神经紧张，急躁以及失眠相当有效。 此外，“Calm and clear”还有手霜以供选择。 而巴哈急救花精则有滴剂、乳液、喷雾和可供吮含的锭剂可供选购。
4. 用水晶祛除负能量：在手袋里放上一到两块水晶以便你在需要的时候能随时握在手心。 或者把水晶放到胸罩或口袋里以祛除周围的负能量。 前几个月我曾写过一篇名为“胸罩里的水晶”的文章，里面曾给出许多选择水晶的建议，例如黑电气石能转化负能量，而长石则能增强你的气场。 水晶是一种很有灵气的石头，块头是大是小都不要紧。
5. 为身体补水：你知道吗？当你在学习新东西的时候大脑会消耗比平时多很多的水。 此外，你知道你体内肌肉大约有75%是水，血液有83%是水，骨头有22%是水吗？ 身体缺水就会变得紧绷起来。 因此，你应该随时戴着一瓶优质水。 尽管如此，它在你的“青春手袋”里也并非不可或缺。 保持身体水分充足不但让你头脑清醒，还能让你的五脏六腑更为健康。 “吃”水比单纯喝水更有益。 绝大多数水果和蔬菜里都拥有超过90%的水含量。 葡萄和橙子甚至高达98％。 天气不大热的时候，葡萄相对来说更易于携带。 理所当然地，要确保你装水的瓶子清洁不带有任何化学和有毒物质。
6. 喷一喷，烦恼清光光：花水喷剂很容易就能在保健品店，水疗所和化学药品店找到。 在脸上喷上几下可以立马提神醒脑，让你焕发青春活力。 花水喷剂通常内含精油，对脸部以及全身皮肤特别有益。 尤其在泄气，头脑发热，烦躁以及疲累的时候更是有奇效。
7. 声音疗法： 用你的mp3聆听舒缓的音乐能让你的身心保持平缓祥和。 如果你没有mp3的话，请低声哼唱。 对，就是哼唱。 把你的手放在你的头上，细细感受哼唱传到天灵盖的振动。 此法可以为你清除堵塞能量的障碍，舒缓高筑的压力以及将散落身体各处的精力重新聚拢在一起，相当有效。 哼唱时还有个小秘诀，那就是你必须得微笑。 你问为什么？ 因为我说的算。
8. 手霜与唇彩： 如果你是像我这样的纯天然女生绝对应该到当地的保健品店看看他们的唇彩和手霜。最体贴的产品都会在里面添加精油以及其他营养疗方，例如顺势疗法。我用的唇彩就内含橘子精油，可以让我瞬间神采焕发。我的双唇简直爱死它了。
9. 如果其他方法都砸了，试试手部瑜伽吧： 一套聪明的手部瑜伽绝对不是乱笔划。 首先把你的左掌放到左耳，右掌放到右耳上。 然后轻轻地移动双手，以平缓的圆周运动按摩耳朵并以逆时针方向不断重复此动作。 聆听着大海的声音并伴随着呼吸。 心里不断念叨着“我很冷静，我很放松，我很精神”好让你集中精力。
