It’s the most wonderful time of the year to take care of YOU!

We love the holiday season. Families come together, and the spirit of giving and generosity surrounds us. Yet, as merry and festive as the holidays are, we know things can get overwhelming fast. Between what seems to be endless holiday parties and gift shopping, the season's busyness can take a toll on our well-being. 

That’s why we want you to prioritize self care for the holidays.

Don't just survive the holidays, thrive. Enjoy this magical time of the year. To help you experience a truly joyful season, here are some self-care strategies we’ve put together to make these last few weeks of 2023 less stressful. 

Our Top Holiday Self-Care Tips That Cost Nothing!

Money causes much holiday stress, especially when your gift-giving list seems miles long. Later in this post, we’ll give you some ideas to make holiday gift-giving a little easier. But, for now, let’s talk about some things you can do to boost your self care during the holidays that don't cost you a penny.

Release Expectations

You’re not Santa. You can’t be everywhere all the time. We know how much holiday stress is caused by the desire to create a perfect holiday experience. If you haven’t already let go of this expectation, we encourage you to try to focus less on perfection and more on ease. It’s okay if everything doesn’t go as planned, or you can’t make every gathering. Give yourself permission to release expectations and let the season unfold naturally. There’s beauty and joy in imperfection. 

Stay Hydrated

We see you holding your Stanley Tumbler, but are you actually getting in your sips? Staying hydrated during the holiday season gives you more pep to your step. Here are some other reasons you should increase your holiday H2O intake:

• Prevent holiday hangovers: Aim to drink one full glass of water for every alcoholic beverage.

• Keep your skin looking healthier for holiday photos: Water replenishes skin cells and moisturizes your skin from the inside out.

• Head off the holiday sniffles: Water keeps your mucous membranes ready to do their job and stop germs from getting into your throat and nose. 

Prioritize Restorative Sleep

According to Sleepfoundation.org, “insufficient sleep has been associated with increased wrinkles, crow’s feet, and frown lines.” And, all it takes is one sleepless night for these facial wrinkles to worsen. Fortunately, you can restore your healthy complexion by making restorative sleep a priority this holiday season. Here are some tips to help you do this:

• Sleep in a completely dark room

• Put your phone away an hour before bedtime

• Wind down in a warm bath or take a hot shower

• Keep the bedroom temperature cool (around 68 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal)
