Ho, ho, ho! The holiday season is upon us, and while the lights are twinkling, it’s easy to forget the most important person on your list: YOU!
I get it, who has time to indulge in selfish acts now? But what if self-care isn’t selfish? What if it’s the greatest gift you can give–not only to yourself–but to everyone around you?
This year, sprinkle some radical self-care into your holiday mix to ensure you’re feeling fabulous before Cousin Mildred arrives.
Three tips to help YOU nourish YOU during the festive frenzy:
1. Create a mindfulness ritual
Imagine: a cozy corner, a soft blanket, and you sipping a cup of tea while the world buzzes around you. Dreamy, right? Dedicate just a few minutes most days to a mindfulness ritual.
Whether you’re meditating, breathing like a Zen master, or simply enjoying a moment of peace & quiet, this little slice of tranquility will help you dodge stress like a pro.
2. Soup for the soul
Warm your soul and nourish your body by whipping up a delicious pot of soup. If you need a little inspiration, check out some of my favorite, yummy soup recipes in my downloadable Cozy Soup Recipes packet. Not only will these hearty soups fuel your body with nutrients, but they’ll also wrap you in comfort on chilly days. (Plus, don't miss my quick tips on beating the winter blues.)
3. Establish a Tech-Free Zone
In a world where we’re glued to our screens more than ever (yes, even during family dinners), it’s time for a digital detox! Start by enforcing a no phones at the table rule, and enjoy some good old-fashioned conversation.
Dining solo? While it’s tempting to scroll when you’re alone, meal times are the perfect opportunity to savor every bite, fully noticing the flavors and textures, and truly enjoy the experience as a delightful moment, just for you.
So, this holiday season, let’s make a pact to prioritize radical self-care!
You’ll not only feel amazing but also have more joy to share with your loved ones. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup—so let’s fill yours to the brim.
Cheers to a fabulous, self-nourishing holiday season! 🎉✨
