Emotional Body

The holidays are coming! The holidays are coming! Shops everywhere entice you with endless options for how to make the season even more brilliant, joyous, and sumptuous. Plans have been made for travel and social gatherings. Yet— have you considered how you will care for yourself, and manage your wellbeing during this time?
Although the holiday season can be a joyous time for many, the individuals who are hosting social events and managing extensive gatherings may be experiencing a cascade of emotions and caregiving stress that can create an overstressed nervous system and a diminished immune response. Additionally, about a third of Americans say difficult family relationships and navigating political conversations contributes to holiday anxiety. While 69% feel higher pressure to appear happier than they are and 51% reported feeling lonely, even when with loved ones.
Could you approach the holidays considering a “Handle with Care” self-care tag? And if so, how would you prepare and proceed?
Click on the link below to view my recent post filled with insightful information, tips, a story, and a mindful movement lesson to help you move into the holiday season with optimism, ease, and openness. While you are there, give yourself the gift of a free subscription to my monthly posts to help you gain more skills in holistic self-care.
Wishing you the happiest and healthiest holiday season!

Did you know that when you are nose breathing you can physically swing from feeling pleased, to tolerating, getting frustrated or confrontational with the slightest shift in small muscles around the eyes, mouth, and within your breathing intensity? Then with practice, did you also know that you can willingly shift in another direction towards expressing counsel, applying self-soothing techniques, and feeling appreciation? Eventually – this shift can be done as quickly as an inhale and exhale—all with the use of precise breathing and muscle activation patterns learned in the Emotional Body® method.
