Here are some ideas on how to take care of yourself, or help others over the holidays.

Keep your regular routine

Think moderation, don't try to do everything at once. Make a plan and spread out activities

Be realistic, and try not to expect the "ideal" holiday

Stay connected. Facetime family and friends. Call a loved one

Throw guilt out the window. Don't feel bad about not going to a party or cancelling because you don't feel safe

Don't be alone if you don't want to be

Focus on today, not yesterday

It's ok to say no

Ask for help

Be good to yourself

As the rush of the holiday's begin, we often lose our connection with the present moment. One effective way to cope with holiday madness is to slow down and take a little time each day to practice mindfulness.

1) Find a quiet place and refocus your attention on your breath. Listen to your breath and notice how your body feels during this time. Do this for a few minutes.

2) Spend a few minutes everyday writing down 5 things you are thankful for this year.

3) Take a walk outside and focus on one of your 5 senses.

4) Blow bubbles! Make a game out of it and watch the bubbles float around the room. Resist the urge to pop them and see where they go.

1) Take regular breathing breaks.
2) Make a list of what you are thankful for this year.

In an attempt to make ourselves better and to change our society, many times we forget to be grateful for the things we do have. We focus so much on the negative that the positive loses its place in our hearts.

WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR?

Post something you’re grateful for on our Look for the Good Gratitude Wall.
