Give Yourself a Break (and Kick Off Those Saddle Shoes!)
- Schedule daily"pause" moments to -efuel your spirit and energy level!
- Schedule some downtime to listen to quiet music at least once a day or,
welcome tota silence by turning off the radix -V, etc.
- Give yourself five minutes each morning to wake up slowly without jumping
out of bed and into ycur day.
" Spend time with someone who rejuvenates you - or i= you recharge alone,
make time for a solo walk, reading a good boo.. taking a warrr bath, etc.
- Stop and take a few deep breaths. This time of year, wonderful scents are all
around us (think: pine, cinnamon, nutmeg). Le- them be your cue to
b-r-e-a-t-h-e. Studies show that a few ceep breat is can slow our heart rate,
lower our blood pressure, and help generate positive thoughts.5u'cvivalc jp #5:
Take Off Your Superhero Cape!"----------------------
It may feel like you reec to be a superhero to survive the holidays.
The funny thing is, we usually assign those 'Suzer Expectations"to
ourselves. Respect your limits... and take a breather!
- Learn to say no to others, and don't feel g .iilty about it later!
- Try to get to bed on time. If you're having trouble falling (or staying)
asleep, put a notebook next to your bed anI write down al your'"to-
do's." The ist will be there in the morning when you're refreshed and
ready to tackle it.
- Reward yourself with at least one "me-timne" activity du-ing the
holiday period (get your nails done, have a quiet lunch, read a good
bock.. ). Even a half hour :o yourself can resuel your holiday tank!
- Lower your expectations! Expect the unexpected! Use your
sense of humor, try to keep things in perspective, and let go of those
things :ha- a-e out of your control.WIC eliessWors - oliay urvv~I ackt PceI
