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.

We are always trying to switch things up and fix that one thing we feel will make us a better person. Maybe it’s getting to the gym more regularly (or at all), losing those last 10 pounds, or being a better friend. It’s not a bad thing to strive to be your better self. But you don’t want to set yourself up for failure either.

Why can’t I stick with my diet/fitness routine/meditation goal/organization plans (insert your current frustration here!)?

We all go through this. Seems like it should be simple right? Just make a plan and stick to it. But we all know it’s not simple. Just look around at all the self-help books and the treadmill in your bedroom currently serving as a clothes rack for examples.
