I’m really sorry you’re feeling overwhelmed. It’s so important to take gentle care of yourself during times like this. Food can be a wonderful tool to support your brain and mood when stress is high. Here are a few simple ways to boost resilience and calm with what you eat:
1. Include omega-3 rich foods like salmon, walnuts, or flaxseeds—they support brain function and help reduce stress.
2. Go for complex carbs from whole grains or veggies to steady your energy and mood.
3. Snack on magnesium-rich choices like pumpkin seeds or spinach; magnesium can promote relaxation.
4. Sip calming teas like chamomile or green tea, which contain antioxidants and soothing compounds.
5. Don’t forget hydration—water helps your brain work better and can ease tension.
Remember, small mindful actions can make a big difference. What foods do you usually enjoy that make you feel comforted or energized? Maybe we can find ways to incorporate those into your routine to help you feel more balanced.
