A Slow, Spacious Holiday Season: Embracing Mindfulness and Self-Care
Welcome to a peaceful and restorative holiday season! As we embark on this slower pace, we're sharing tips to help you manage your time, commitments, and energy.
Saying No to a More Relaxing Holiday
It's easier to take back a no than to take back a yes. This means that during a holiday season emphasizing relaxation, mindfulness, and a slower pace, it might be wiser to say no upfront to certain activities, invitations, or obligations that don’t align with your restful intentions. By doing so, you'll have the flexibility to agree to participate or engage later if you feel inspired or have more energy.
Unplugging During the Holidays
A social media detox can be a great way to unplug during the holiday season. Disconnecting from the digital world can help you focus on the present moment, enjoy the company of loved ones, and create lasting memories.
