From finding the perfect gift for those you love to attending parties and financial anxiety, the holiday season comes with a fair amount of stress.
The good news is, adopting healthy stress-management practices can have lasting positive effects, extending well beyond the holidays.
A fundamental way to combat stress is by prioritizing self-care. The connection between your mind and body is profound, and maintaining your physical, emotional and mental well-being can be a powerful strategy to prevent and manage stress.
Engaging in mindfulness practices and reducing stress levels can result in numerous benefits, including lower anxiety, a strengthened immune system, increased energy levels, and an overall improvement in well-being.
Activating a relaxation response has the potential to diminish and even reverse the physical, mental and emotional effects of stress.
Breath and Meditation:
Simple but effective, techniques like intentional, deep breathing or basic meditation can stimulate your relaxation response, thus alleviating mental stress.
Move More and Sit Less:
Physical activity can act as a stress reliever, even if you’re not an athlete or if you’re out of shape. Exercise can refocus your mind onto your body, helping your stressors melt away.
Take a moment for yourself, practice mindfulness, and let the positive effects ripple through your holiday season and beyond.
