The holidays are joyful🌟— but let’s be real… they can also be stressful😬
And stress doesn’t just affect your mood. It can also impact your sleep, hormones, & overall well-being.
( for women, it can even affect your menstrual cycle).
Here are 5 doctor-approved ways to stay grounded this season:
1️⃣ Mindful breathing — Pause, inhale, exhale, reset.
2️⃣ Move your body — Even a 10-minute walk helps lower stress hormones.
3️⃣ Protect your sleep —Aim for between 7–9 hours to keep your mood and energy stable.
4️⃣ Eat mindfully — Nourish yourself with protein/ fruits/ vegetables between holiday treats.
5️⃣ Take a break — Give yourself permission to pause
