Life Hacks: De-stress for the holidays with an Aurorae Yoga Mat Giveaway!

How do we get more Zen in our life?  Lately I've been overwhelmingly busy, which makes the little bit of "zen" I get in my day an absolutely amazing moment that feels better anything else!

The thing is, is that I don't want to live my life like everyone else.

I don't want to be worried about money all the time.  Where to be next.  What's for dinner.  What's am I missing on my planner.

Sometimes though, in the pursuit of making a difference in the world and becoming the best I can be, the worry seeps in and fills me up, as I'm sure you can relate to.  But then, i get home at the end of the night and i remember…I'm just a being in this world, the world will happen and revolve, I can relax.

At the end of my long day's, I'll light three candles, dim the lights, and just relax.  Aurorae's new Spa Candles are heaven.  After a few minutes of lighting the Eucalyptus candle I was feeling relaxed and in complete stress-fee zone.  This is rare…I wake up at 6 am and there isn't a pause in my day until I get home at 10pm.  This candle makes me say "goodbye" to Monday (oh wait everyday feels like monday!) stress and hello to "zen."

I also try hard to fit yoga into my weekly schedule.  I purchased a Core-power unlimited membership -  if you do this FORCE yourself to go!  Put it on the calendar - make it non-negotiable.  It's been amazing.  I've been using the Aurorae Impressions Yoga mat lately and have loved it. They come with a small chalk pack which is fabulous to put on your hands and feet and on your mat before a hot yoga or any CorePower class.  The grip is fantastic and even when I forget my chalk or towel, I somehow manage to be ok without slipping and sliding around. 

I'd love for you to give the Aurorae Impressions Yoga Mat and Aurorae generously offered one for me to giveaway!

*While Aurorae did sponsor this post and giveaway, I have been an avid user/fan/lover of Aurorae since my yoga practice began 4 years ago!  I have never used a different mat!
