Day 1 – Tip 1: Do Some Holiday Meditation
The holidays are a time when many of us feel extra stressed. There are presents to buy, parties to attend, and family members to please. (and some that we know can never be pleased).
It can be all too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season and forget to take care of ourselves.
However, this is precisely when we need to take a step back and relax.
Meditation is a great way to do this. By focusing on our breath and clearing our minds, we can reduce stress levels and find a moment of peace amidst the chaos.
There are many different ways to meditate, so it’s worth taking some time to find a method that works for you. If you’re new to meditation, you can check out our Meditation section and our YouTube meditation videos, which are free for you to use and benefit from immediately. You can start practising at home for just a few minutes each day.
You may be surprised at how much of a difference this makes during the holiday season. So don’t wait until after the holidays to start taking care of yourself.
A little bit of holiday meditation can go a long way towards reducing stress and making this time of year more enjoyable.
We’ll see you on Day 2.
