Unwind After a Hectic Holiday Season
The holidays can be an exhausting, stressful, and emotional time of the year which can linger on into the new year. It's not always easy to move on from the holidays as soon as the decorations are packed away. To cope with stress after the holiday season, here are some easy tips to follow.
Meditate
Meditating helps to quieten the mind and relax the body. Even as little as five minutes of meditating while focusing on the breath can beneficial. Luckily, there are lots of apps and videos out there that assist you if you're trying it for the first time.
Take a walk
Sitting for long periods of time can lead to low energy. Getting up and moving around can help to boost your energy levels and allow you to think clearer. Take a walk around your local park when you next get the chance to relieve stress and feel better.
Get outside
Connect with nature and get some fresh air. Getting outside, even on cloudy winter days, has been shown to help combat seasonal depression.
Unplug
We're all guilty of spending too much time on our phones and devices. The blue light emitted from these digital devices can impair your fight or flight mechanisms. For a more restorative night of sleep, avoid using these devices two hours before going to bed.
Head to bed early
Sleep deprivation can impact our body's ability to get rid of stress. If you lose a couple of hours of sleep every night, it can turn your anxiety into chronic stress. Aim to get to bed early so that you can get a more restful night.
