Since, I have made believing, thinking and choosing a green way of life, my days have become less stressful. Of course, alleviating stress is number 1 to staying healthy. How does going green minimize stress? Well it's easy. There are less choices when you choose green and less confusion....like I said, it's easy! Choosing green in my life has brought my mind back to an "at ease" state. Here is one good example. Before I go grocery shopping I make a list. Carrying a list reduces my stress level, because I know I will stick closely to the list of items of necessity and not of pleasure. I stick to the basic food groups. Fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy, meats and water. When I stroll down the dairy I get "organic" Milk. I don't look at "all" the milk I just look at the organic choices" only." I do the same thing in all other departments, this would be another stress reducer. I purchase food that I need ( main meals) then if I want a treat such as ice cream for the kids, I make a good choice on something interesting to delight them. Keeping to the Green aisles first, keeps my priorities straight. Practice makes perfect....If you throw in a bag of chips in your cart...I won't tell. Just make sure they are organic!
