Here are a few quick tips to help you stay on track over the festive season:
Allow your body time to relax. For many of us, it is a time of year that can wind up becoming very stressful. With Christmas shopping, extra food preparation, and extra get togethers with friends and relatives, unless we have extra time off from work and our usual commitments, all of this can become very tiring and taxing on our nervous system. Add to that a little extra alcohol and treats that we wouldn’t normally eat, which deplete our body of nutrients and you have a recipe for exhaustion!
So if we could give you one simple hot tip to help you stay calm and centred over the Christmas festive season, it would be this:
Remember to breathe.
So often it is the little things that we forget, we rush around and forget to breathe deeply, and when we stop and pay attention we realise that we are ‘shallow breathing’ which can have a detrimental effect on our nervous system.
So go on and take a nice big breath in… inhale… and out… exhale…
…Repeat this 5-10 times and notice how different and re-energised you feel…
This will help you stay calm and relaxed, so that you remember to make healthy choices for your mind, body and spirit, in the ‘silly season’.
