The Holiday Season!
It’s a swirl of lights and gift giving, of holiday parties and Christmas stories. It begins the day after Halloween and from then the rush is on. The rush for the perfect gift for the people you love. This is a time of joy, a time we look forward to each year, but there is still stress involved. Too often it seems that the holidays become a blur of shopping malls and crowded parking lots. We forget so easily what this holiday season is truly about. It’s about spending time with our families and showing them how much we truly care about them.
This season is stressful so here are some tips to help your holiday season stay bright and stress free.
- Drink Water. Everyone says it, but there is a very good reason for that. Stress can build up in our bodies like a poison and when we are dehydrated that poison cannot be flushed out. We will become more fatigued and everyday tasks will become a drag. So drink water!
- Make time for yourself. It’s not easy, we know this. But it’s so essential. Make time, even if just for five minutes,take time to just sit, breathe and relax. Self-guided mediation can be a wonderful technique to use at these times. Learn to release your worries for even a few minutes and the results will be richly rewarding.
- Sleep. Sleep can be so hard to come by, but it is so important to our daily well-being. When we sleep our body finds the time to regenerate, it is nature’s number one beauty secret and something we so easily ignore. Make your sleep a priority, even four hours of uninterrupted sleep will bring added vigor and youth to your mood and body.
- Be kind to yourself. No, this does not mean indulge in the bounty of snacks and holiday goodies. Instead this means to nurture your hair and skin.
- And the last tip…. Enjoy yourself! This season is filled with joy if you can just take those moments and embrace them to their fullest. Enjoy your family… Enjoy yourself.
