The holiday season can just amplify all the usual stress signals—tight chest, brain fog, short fuse, flat energy.
Even if you love this time of year, your nervous system might be in overdrive from…
Social pressure and family dynamics
Colder weather and less light
Overpacked schedules or just trying to hold it all together
In my 1:1 coaching program, I teach my clients use simple, strategic tools to calm the nervous system and resource the body—so you’re not just coping, you’re actually restoring capacity.
Here are 3 of my go-to grounding practices you can use anytime, anywhere:
Tension Release Reset
✅ Inhale and lift your shoulders to your ears
✅ Hold for 2 seconds
✅ Exhale slowly and drop them completely
✅ Repeat 3x
This tells your body: it’s safe to soften.
Shake It Out
🌀 Shake your hands, arms, and legs for 10-20 seconds
🌀 Let your body release the static it’s holding
This is somatic stress release—without needing a therapist or a yoga mat.
1-Minute Transition Breath
🌬️ Inhale through your nose for 4 counts
⏸️ Hold for 2 counts
😮💨 Exhale slowly through your mouth for 6 counts
🔁 Repeat for 5 full breaths (1 minute)
💡 Let each exhale signal to your body: we’re safe, we can reset
Perfect for recalibrating your energy instead of carrying stress into the next thing.
