When we go into active and passive yoga poses to feel sensation in the body with conscious breath, we’re able to quiet the busy, loud, anxious mind and relieve stress. As we close out an especially stressful year, I recommend practicing yin or gentle yoga to help ground your nervous system and calm your mind. The combination of stillness and slow, mindful breathing helps relieve physical, mental, and emotional tension.” Amitis Pourarian, owner of THE STUDIO Martial Arts & Fitness, says exercise is a huge stress reducer, as it provides a break from having to deal with issues and an outlet for stress. “What’s more, there are endorphins released in the brain as a by-product of exercise, which uplift our mood and our sense of wellbeing,” she shares. 2 MAKE A BUDGET “Make a budget and stay within it,” Arnold recommends. “No one enjoys giving or can relish the holiday season when they know they’ve overspent and will have to face it come January. The gift of giving is not about a dollar amount; it’s the intention and energy behind what we give.” Homemade presents never go out of style. Who wouldn’t be grateful to open a framed family picture, recipe book filled with time-tested dishes, or a calendar of birthdays with photos? 3 GIVE BACK “Take time for yourself during the holidays to break off and do things that ground you and bring you joy,” Pourarian says. “Creating space to be of service to others who are less fortunate is a great stress reliever.” Turn to page 22 for a list of ways you can be of service this season. 4 CHOOSE AN INTENTION “Take some quiet time to choose a word or sentence for the holiday experience you want and let it drive your commitment to a stress-free holiday,” suggests Jenifer Novak Landers, a professional certified coach at Fully Expressed Potential. “For example, my word is ‘resilience.’ I visualize myself in ease and joy, being fully present to the magic of every single holiday moment. When things get messy or off track, (because they WILL!) I can return to my word, resilience, and remember to allow myself to practice it, rather than pushing on my stress or fear, which only makes it worse.” 5 JUST BREATHE “When we’re stressed, our breath tends to be shallow, erratic, and in the chest. This actually causes the body to release more stressor hormones, ultimately causing us to be more stressed,” Arnold says. “No matter where you are, try this. Close your eyes, sit up tall, relax your shoulders, take a deep breath in through your nose and sigh it out your mouth, emptying your lungs completely. Now, bring awareness to the belly, begin to sip the air in through your nose to a count of five, pause the breath, then exhale through the nose slowly to a count of five.” 6 REFRAME & RESET “Being aware of what thoughts or stories you’re telling yourself about the holidays will give you the option to choose a different thought—or to at least think yourself into a neutral place,” Novak Landers says. “You can shift how you feel by choosing thoughts that are more positive. In your mind, change an anxious story into a relaxed one. When the feeling of stress creeps in, ask yourself: ‘What do I need right now to feel loving about myself?’ Or, ‘How can I be loving to ME right now?’ And then do it. You’ll notice a big shift in your energy. For example, old thought: I won’t have time or energy for everything I want to do. New thought: Even though my time is short, I’m excited to be fully present with all I can do. This is also a great opportunity to schedule follow up time with people in 2021.” As you navigate the extra stresses of COVID-19 during the holidays, remember this. “Even though the negativity of surrounding the pandemic completely changes this year's holiday season, choose to look for love in the smallest, simplest things, especially within yourself. Love is something you can focus on.” 7 TAKE TIME FOR YOU “It can be 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes at night, or both! Better yet, make it 30 minutes,” Arnold says. “What you do during this time is your choice, so long as it helps you to feel at ease, calm, and grounded. Maybe you go for a run, jump on your yoga mat, or sip a cup of coffee outside and just be. The important thing is that you take the time to nourish and recharge yourself. Then, you’ll have the energy and stamina to be present for family, friends, and all the hustle and bustle of the season.” Top photo ©deagreez - stock.adobe.com.
