"Gentle, Gentle" Holidays


It's December which is a month filled with holidays and holiday activities for many of us. In the middle of the hustle and bustle of this time of year we can become overwhelmed and need to pause. We need to be "gentle, gentle" with ourselves at this time of year. If you are so overwhelmed you don't know how to pause here are a few suggestions.

  • Pause and take a few deep breaths
  • Move a little: go for a walk, stretch, do yoga, kickbox etc. 
  • Drink a hot beverage: tea, hot cocoa, etc.
  • Read something for fun
  • Put a yule log up on your computer or TV
  • Listen to a fun holiday mix of music
  • Watch a fun holiday special
  • Take a nice warm shower
  • Use some nice lotion
  • Order a meal in
  • Take a nap when needed
  • Get whatever you are feeling out via journaling, or physical activity, or a creative activity
  • Make sure you are eating 
  • Remembering this Christmas does not have to look like last Christmas.
