Here it is. The hustle and bustle. The glitter and gold. The most
wonderful time of the year. With the heavy build up of its imminent
approach, it is no wonder that the holiday season reflects a time of
stress rather than its suggested joy. While we ourselves are far from
our days of the nail biting anticipation of Santa and his sleigh,
setting out milk, cookies and of course fuel for those beloved reindeer,
Christmas in adult life can be downright tough. Draining even. Aside
from our depleting supply of vitamin D, in the winter months it takes a
little bit of an extra kick to keep ourselves afloat. From Christmas
lists, parties and functions, to gift wrapping and holiday dinners we
forget the centre of it all. You. Now, I do not mean this in a selfish
way. I know this season is about giving and there’s nothing more I love
than doing just that- believe me. But life is about balance! We need a
little loving this and every holiday season. How you ask? Here are some
of my personal favourites.
- Keep it moving! With all the shopping and elbow to
elbow traffic the whole process of the holiday season can be exhausting.
We are constantly sifting ourselves through crowds and brushing up
against the most difficult energies. Despite this, it is so important to
stick to our active lifestyles. If you are a gym goer, try to keep at
least two visits a week. You could also view this time to drop into that
Sexy Fitness class you’ve always wanted to take, do something
completely new or partake in the company of your friends to help keep
the motivation. This will boost your endorphins thus resulting in those
Scrooge types to be easier to deal with. Also, let’s face it. There is
no diet in holiday. So this will take the pressure off of those guilty
indulgences.
