🌟 The Christmas season is my favourite time of the year. It’s also a time where many people find themselves buzzing, stressed and often in pain thanks to the whirlwind this time of year can generate.
Now, more than ever, it’s important to take some moments of self care.
✨Schedule a five minute mindfulness meeting with yourself
✨Practice Yoga or Pilates
✨Exercise
✨Walk outdoors
✨Joiurnal
✨Soak in a hot bath with magnesium salts flakes and relaxing essential oils
✨Use breathwork practices, even something super simple like five silent breaths in and then focusing on a long gentle exhale
✨Traditions that bring you peace and joy during the festive season
✨Be aware of who and what you surround yourself with, so as not to drain your emotional battery
✨Use your essential oil diffuser with a blend of calming and uplifting aromas
Why does it matter? Because stress and tension can drive pain and inflammation. But we can consciously choose calm, serenity and joy, keeping our nervous system regulated and pain at bay. I’m also here to help if you’re struggling with pain, tension or overwhelm. Bookings are available for either physiotherapy or Pellowah sessions throghout the Chrsitmas and New Year period.
So this Christmas season, love your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies by taking some mindful moments to recharge
…and maybe enjoy a homemade gingerbread if it soothes your soul too 🫚 Here’s my favourite tried and tested “healthier” gingerbread recipe. It’s been a tradition in my family for about 15 years now. Rest assured it’s in some lunchboxes today!! A double batch will yield you an incredible gingerbread house too 🎄
