Urbana, Iowa (PRWEB) January 18, 2012
With Monday, Jan. 23 considered among the most stressful days of the year, Aura Cacia a national source for natural and organic essential oils is calling on Americans to take a moment for themselves when times are most stressful through its National Moment of Chill initiative.
In pursuit of a moment of sanity, Aura Cacia is encouraging harried Americans to collectively break for 15 minutes at high noon or rather, Sigh Noon on Monday, Jan. 23. Many have considered the second to last Monday in January each year as Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year, as New Years resolutions slip away, holiday bills come due and the sparkle of the holidays has passed.
Each year we start off with good intentions: well lose weight, exercise and relax more, save money. But it soon slips away into our constant state of fast-forward, in which we are ricocheting from one commitment to another multi-tasking ourselves into a downward spiral of exhaustion, said Jane Merten, Senior Brand Manager for Aura Cacia. This lifestyle is not sustainable. So, were asking the nation to take a collective deep breath.
Welcome to the National Moment of Chill. Were calling on everyone within range of our tweets, Facebook posts, website and emails to join us in our movement, Merten continued. Just chill out for 15 minutes on the 23rd. Inhale neroli essential oil to provide clarity, inner-strength and improved awareness. Take a walk. Stretch. Practice yoga. Massage lavender on your temples. Meditate. Play with your dog. Hug your loved one a minute longer.

The Six Most Stressful Days of the Year
Aura Cacia recently formed a blue ribbon panel it called The Committee of the Stressed including moms and dads, people with long commutes, workers with micro-managing bosses, people who watch a lot of cable news and college students whose only chance to do laundry is 11:30 at night to share what they feel are the six most stressful days of the year. Input was received. Votes were tallied.
