Ugh, December. Is there any month of the year that drives us quite so batty? Shopping, Entertaining, Traveling, Wrapping, Preparing for a new semester/year! A sure fire way to relieving the stress that comes with this list is practicing the three R’s – rest, relaxation, and reflection. All three of these not only helps soothe your frayed brain, but also improves your overall health, according to the Mayo Clinic. Learning to “chill” slows your heart rate, lowers your blood pressure, reduces muscle tension and even boosts your self-confidence!
Deepak Chopra recommends mediating for 10 to 20 minutes a day in order to bring your mind and body into harmony. I haven’t been doing this, probably why I have a cold right now. Dr. Nancy Snyderman suggests running away for a fast recharge. “Tell your family you love them, but that you need a brief getaway. They will be fine. It is not selfish, it’s self-preservation.” Dr. Oz says, “If you can’t get away, take 5 minutes to go to the bathroom and practice deep belly breathing.”
I love these tips. I thought, “I can at least try breathing!” I got the email below from PEHP. Sign-up and they will send you an email to help you take ten minutes to breath once a week. I signed up. I thought, “I can at least do that to help with the stress.” I hope you have a not-too-stressful holiday season.
Happy Holidays,
