TIPS & IDEAS TO REDUCE HOLIDAY STRESS AND REFRESH (TO GET READY) FOR THE NEW YEAR… WITHOUT LEAVING HOME

1)    Take Deep, Comfortable Breaths All The Time

• When you’re feeling bombarded by stress, immediately redirect your awareness to your breathing.

• FREE YOUR MIND.  Focus on how you are feeling.  Take deep nourishing, comfortable breaths – IN      AND OUT.

• You should feel RELAXED.They should be long comfortable, sustained breaths.  (DEMO BREATHING).  Repeat this sustained breathing for 10 to 15 seconds.  You will go from being upset to feeling CALMER.

• As soon as it starts to feel like work, you are not breathing correctly.  You don’t need to stop in your tracks and strike a pose.  Try breathing this way every day – anywhere.  At home, the office, in the supermarket checkout line….anywhere.

• This will ULTIMATELY RELEASE STRESS by increasing your circulation; it will instantly cause a mood change and you will feel REFRESHED.  Try it!!

2)    We have breathing and stretching to de-stress…

• One of the reasons we feel so stressed at holiday time is we are indoors a lot more, sitting for longer periods, the weather is cold – we need to get our energy up by STIMULATING & INCREASING OUR CIRCULATION.

• We call these stretches the 10-Minute Yoga Base – but TRUST ME – anyone at any age can do this.

• Also, REV UP YOUR CIRCULATION by moving your body every 20 minutes.  Keep moving!  Whether you’re in a plane or movie theater – bend your knees or move your feet.  On a long trip, stop the car, get out and stretch with the whole family.

3)    Follow the ONE-TO-ONE RULE

• Drink one glass of water for every glass of alcohol you consume.  So chase that champagne down with a glass of H2O tonight.

• It sounds simple, but it really works.  It will keep you hydrated and also lessen the likelihood of having a bad hangover the next day.

4)    GRATITUDE

• We all tend to feel overwhelmed or sometimes inadequate, burdened or underappreciated during the holidays.

• For the New Year, START FRESH AND REDIRECT THAT EYE INWARD.

• Be mindful and grateful for the things that are really meaningful.

• Gratitude is a beautiful way of remembering the gifts you have around you.  It is so powerful in combating stress.

We buy unnecessary medications for every sniffle, ache and pain.

These meds do not heal you, are expensive, and can actually hurt you because of the side effects that affect your endocrine system and your brain not to mention your ability to function clearly through your day.

“So start this thousands of year old practice-rinsing the sinus!”

Just like brushing your teeth, this is the toothbrush for your nose.

IT WORKS.
