Getting through the holidays can exact a heavy toll on the body; carrying heavy shopping bags, standing for hours at parties (in heels), sitting in cramped seat aboard your holiday flight to see family & friends. The result chronic aches and low energy, not to mention stress of the social whirl. When you get stressed, you often hold your breath, which leads to holding your muscles. It feels like you’re wearing a straightjacket.
You can stretch out the holiday stress, though, with a little time and effort. Start by doing some form of exercise & meditation for at least 15 minutes a day, this can help rejuvenate you, it paves the way to a calmer, less achy, and more energized you! It’s a giving season, so consider it a present to you.
