We have something to celebrate: We made it through some of the most stressful times of the year already. Congrats, teachers! Moving forward, we need to remember to take time out for self-care that will keep out soul rested and our love for our profession evident.
So, carve out a 10-minute slice of your day for one of the easiest and fulfilling things your can do for yourself: Make Magnesium Tea! Magnesium has many benefits, including stress reduction and energy boosts.
Here's what you'll need:
A mug of hot water (preferably filtered water instead of tap)
***1/2-1 Tablespoon of honey or sweetener of choice
1 tea bag (I am loving the blueberry Celestial tea at the moment)
1/2-1 teaspoon of a magnesium citrate (I LOVE Natural Vitality's raspberry-lemon, but it comes in many flavors and there's an unflavored version)
***You want to start small with the magnesium. Start with 1/2 teaspoon twice a day and work up to 2 teaspoons a day.
Directions:
1. Warm the water for a minute in the microwave
2. Put the Tablespoon of honey in the water and let the honey melt off the spoon
3. Add the Magnesium. It will fizz a little bit while it's reacting with the water.
4. Add the teabag and let it steep for a few minutes.
5. Remove the teabag, stir, and enjoy!
That's it!
What do you do for your self-care that takes ten minutes or less? I need some new ideas for the new year!
