We all deal with multiple stressors every day – whether it's the kids, work or the cost-of-living crisis – or, indeed, all three – and many more, so finding self-care ideas is unsurprisingly on all of our minds. But, you don't need to spend money to feel better – in fact, there are a whole host of natural anxiety remedies, and spending money you might not have, is only going to lead to more signs of stress, and anxiety in the long run.
'Natural mood boosters help boost a range of feel-good hormones, such as dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin,' says Dr Marianne Trent, clinical psychologist and creator of The Feel Better Academy. 'They also work really well for habit-sticking. For example, if you're already taking the bus, you can get off a few stops early and walk through nature to get to your destination.'
