1240. The 3-Text Rule to STOP Phone Overwhelm + Baking Soda & Epsom Salt Trick for Stress Relief

Hey Heal Squad! Ready for more simple life hacks to help your week flow a little easier? Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and she has 4 small shifts that made a big difference this week! First up, boundaries (especially when it comes to texting!) If you’ve ever felt that little flash of annoyance when your phone keeps buzzing, it might not actually be the person. It might just mean you need an easy boundary. Maria has a simple “3-text rule” that can help prevent this kind of overwhelm to protect your peace. Trust us, it’s a good one! Next, a simple nervous system reset anyone can do: an Epsom salt bath with baking soda. It’s a calming “twofer” that can relax your muscles and do wonders for your skin too. Be sure to take notes.Then we’re talking about the magic of getting to bed early. When Maria prioritizes earlier nights, she notices it creates more runway for quality sleep and this has seriously been helping during perimenopause, where rest can be unpredictable. She’s also sharing a few easy tricks that help signal the body it’s time to wind down… including one red light hack. Finally, something that’s been deeply grounding this week: faith, gratitude, and community. Maria opens up about how going to church has refreshed her spirit and helped her reconnect with what really matters. She also shares one simple morning practice that can help create that same sense of spiritual connection and gratitude in your own life.As always, take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and hopefully one of these little shifts can help your week feel just a bit lighter.
