6 tips for enjoying the holiday season

Holidays can be a time of great joy, but also extra stress with family visits, excitement, excesses of consumption, and changes to our usual routines. Fun and refreshing hopefully, but also a time to ensure you stay grounded and relaxed to make the most of it.

Here are a few tips to help you enjoy the holidays.. 
​

Appreciate what you have

Take time to appreciate what you already have and not get too caught up in high expectations for the holidays. Enjoy what comes your way, and find abundance in each moment. Notice the simple things that you take for granted and marvel at how amazing they all are!

Try some home yoga practice

A great time to commit to a short daily yoga practice, even if it is only one pose, or sitting and taking 12 steady, slow breaths.

Sanctuary in a book

Find sanctuary in a contemplative book, even if only for 5 minutes a day. 

Be in nature

Spend some time with nature. If that isn't possible, spend a few minutes each day gazing at a tree or plant. 

Treat yourself - mindfully

Treat yourself, but try and do it mindfully so that you really enjoy it and will remember it later on and so enjoy it again when you think of it!

Be kind

Do a kind action every day for no particular reason. Share some joy with others in your local community, or do something kind for yourself. Random acts of kindness, even if only a smile to someone you don't know.

Here's to wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a joyful and healthy new year. x
