SEASONAL STRESS SURVIVAL GUIDE: Navigating the Holidays with Peace and Balance
It’s November, and as the holiday season unfolds, it’s easy to get swept up in the whirlwind of festivities, responsibilities, and obligations. But fear not, for amidst the chaos, there are strategies to find tranquility and reclaim your peace of mind. Here’s your seasonal stress survival guide, designed to bring calm to the holiday storm.
TIP 1: PRIORITIZE YOUR MENTAL PEACE OF MIND
The key to a serene holiday season lies in managing your mental capacity. Here are three strategies to help increase your mental resilience:
Strategy 1: Meditate for 30 minutes a day!
Meditation is a powerful tool for calming the mind and reducing stress. To get started, check out these meditation apps I recommend: [Top Meditation Apps for Finding Focus]
Strategy 2: Embrace Gratitude
A gratitude journal can transform your perspective. Consider using a weekly gratitude insert for your planner, available here: [Weekly Gratitude List (A5 Sized)]
Strategy 3: Brain Dump Regularly with Your Planner
Utilize your planner to unload your thoughts regularly. The Brilliant Ideas Inserts can be immensely helpful: [Brilliant Ideas Bundle (Printable PDF)]
TIP 2: GET AN IMMUNITY BOOST
The holiday season often brings joy and love, but it also invites germs and bacteria. Fortify your immune system with these simple steps:
Strategy 1: Get a Flu or Covid Shot
Consult your doctor about getting a flu or covid booster shot. Many health insurance providers cover it at low or no cost. Stay protected and keep those around you safe.
Strategy 2: Harness the Power of Essential Oils
Essential oils like Saje Wellness Fortify Oil can strengthen your immune system. However, it’s crucial to use them properly. Refer to this Essential Oil Resource Guide for guidance: [Essential Oil Resource Guide]
Strategy 3: Take a Daily Multivitamin
Speak to your healthcare provider about the right multivitamin for you. A daily multivitamin can fill nutritional gaps and support your overall health. I take a women’s multivitamin plus extra vitamin c each day to keep my immune system strong.
TIP 3: STOCK UP ON SHORTCUTS
Simplify your routine with these time-saving strategies:
Strategy 1: Embrace Crock Pot Meals
Discover delicious crock pot recipes to save time and effort. Check out my video for inspiration: [Crock Pot Recipe Video]. For more recipes, join me on Pinterest: [Misstrenchcoat on Pinterest]
Strategy 2: Quick Go-To Workout Routine
Stay active with a quick high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout. Here’s a routine to get you started: [HIIT Workout]
Strategy 3: Invest in Time-Saving Cleaning Tools
Efficient cleaning tools like a robo vacuum [Amazon Link] and a Swiffer Sweeper [Amazon Link] can lighten your cleaning workload. Plus, save money on Swiffer refills by using paper towel squares for quick cleanups.
By prioritizing your mental well-being, bolstering your immune system, and embracing shortcuts, you can navigate the holiday season with ease. Remember, amidst the hustle and bustle, your peace of mind is invaluable. Wishing you a stress-free and serene holiday season!
