Breathe, Apply, Anchor: A Ritual for Overstimulated Days
By Moneque Waite
The world doesn’t exactly make it easy to rest.
Between nonstop notifications, mental overload, and the emotional weight of daily life—it’s no wonder your nervous system sometimes feels fried. And when your inner world feels chaotic, your skin often mirrors that stress.
At Green Heart, we believe skincare isn’t just for glow. It’s a grounding ritual—a way to tend to your inner garden and return to a place of calm, on purpose.
🌬 Step 1: Breathe
Before you even touch a product—pause.
-
Close your eyes.
-
Feel your feet on the ground.
-
Inhale for 4… hold for 4… exhale for 6.
-
Repeat 3 times.
This simple breath sequence tells your body: “You’re safe. You can slow down now.”

🧴 Step 2: Apply
Warm a few drops of your chosen Green Heart body oil or balm in your palms.
Choose what you need in this moment:
-
Relax Me Body Oil — to release emotional heaviness
-
Assist Us Eucalyptus Body Oil — to cut through mental fog
-
Good Greens Face & Body Oil — to re-energize and restore glow
Massage it into your chest, shoulders, arms, or temples—slowly. Breathe in the aroma. Let your touch become your medicine.
🧘🏽♀️ Step 3: Anchor
Now place a hand on your chest or over your stomach.
Feel your body. Feel your breath. Say softly to yourself:
“It’s safe to come home to me.”
This final step locks in the moment—not just on your skin, but in your nervous system.
🌱 Why This Ritual Works
Overstimulation pulls you into chaos. This ritual gently brings you back to presence through three grounding channels:
-
Breath — calms the fight-or-flight response
-
Touch — regulates your sensory system and builds trust in your body
-
Aroma + CBD — quiet the mind and soothe inflammation internally and externally
Together, these cues help shift you from reactive to rooted.
💚 This is what it means to tend to your inner garden—one slow breath, one drop of oil, one anchored moment at a time.

🙋♀️ FAQ: Nervous System Rituals
How often can I do this?
Daily. Even multiple times. Your body thrives on repetition and rhythm.
Do I need all the products?
No. Even one body oil or balm paired with breath and touch can shift your entire day.
Is this better in the morning or at night?
Both! Try it before work for focus, or before bed for decompression.
🌼 Final Thoughts
You don’t need more time—you need a moment.

With every breath, every drop, every soft pause, you are remembering who you are: a body that deserves peace. A being worth tending to.
