Balance and moderation in life is key
Beach meditation
Life can be stressful, even more so around the holidays
A few tips to help you destress:
1. Go for a short walk outside. Just being in nature can help provide a natural calming effect.
2. Call a friend - keeping up connections with those we love helps us keep on track.
3. Do something you love! Make time to read or paint or bake - whatever gives you joy.
4. Unplug! Put down your phone or tablet and really connect with those around you, even if it is in a long line at the store.

Throw out the 10k step goal and just move!
Why are 10,000 steps mentioned as the magic number?
I did the research for you and read articles on movement. And it turns out 10,000 steps IS an arbitrary number.
