The holiday season draws to a close this week, as we prepare to greet a new year. While you may still be making the schlep to work, make sure to take some time to relax, breathe and enter the New Year refreshed. Try a few of these stress-busters.
Find Your Center. Identify all of your good traits, and write them down; this gives you a visual of how fortunate you are and how much "right" there is with your life. Anytime you're down, revisit your list of traits and bring back your positive power so you can greet the day with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.
Rest Up. Getting enough of sleep, typically eight hours, can carry you a long way. If your body is rested, the stressors of life won't seem as challenging, allowing you to function at a higher level. Just because you have a lot to accomplish doesn't mean you should skimp on sleep; your exhaustion will ultimately be the catalyst of you becoming unraveled. Set a specific bedtime and stick to it.
Me Time. Focusing on what "makes you happy" can bring more life, joy, energy and a better sense of well-being. This requires taking care of YOU. It could be as simple as doing a few stretches on the living room floor, having a cup of tea, going for a 10 minute walk or sitting outside after work to enjoy the fresh air.
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. In the aftermath of the hubbub and busyness, don't forget to truly enjoy the last of the Holiday Season. Appreciate and be thankful for your friends, family, home, pets, job, etc. Place yourself in a state of gratitude and love.
