Wellness is important, we can all agree on that, but wellness doesn’t just mean keeping your body healthy — you’ve got to keep your mind healthy, too. My favorite way to stay happy and healthy is to find a little zen in my life wherever I can. Some time for me, some time to breathe, and some time to center myself. But it’s not always easy to do that, so I’ve found ways to make it easier.
These products are some of my favorite find-your-zen, center-your-mind items that really help me to find me again. If yoga is your thing, there’s a terrific yoga mat that teaches you how to get through a ton of moves, there are scents for your car to bring the zen on the go, and there’s even meditation guide that will give you somewhere to focus so you can more easily get into your zen state of mind. Give this list a gander and take away something that can really help you find your peace of mind.

It pulls on over your head (with room for an updo!) and rests right above your eyes so you can find some zen and keep it moving.
Loosen up Those Muscles
Post-workout zen is so nice! I find that the harder I work out, the more I can relax after. But that’s not easy to do with sore muscles. This vibrating muscle roller allows you to really get into those muscles and allow them to loosen up and relax for recovery while you zen.
