Stress Busters for Eco-Innovators
Four Fast Strategies to Navigate Holiday Stress
The holiday season, with its festive sparkle, can also bring a whirlwind of stress and anxiety. Amidst the flurry of activities, it's vital to find moments of tranquility. Techniques like havening, 4x4 breath practice, moving to a different room or going outside and reading an inspirational passage can be your anchors and help you navigate the festive season with a calmer spirit.
Havening, a method that involves crossing your arms and slowly stroking them, can be a powerful tool. It helps in altering brain patterns that are responsible for stress and anxiety and offers a quick and effective way to self -sooth when you are overwhelmed. Similarly, the 4x4 breath practice where you inhale for the count of four, hold your breath for the count of four and exhale for the count of four is a simple yet potent tool to regulate your body's stress response. Sometimes a change in the environment can work wonders. Stepping away from a stressful situation even if it's just moving to a different room, taking a short walk outside or reading a favorite passage in a book can provide a new perspective and allow your mind to reset.
This holiday season, amidst the bustle and hustle, remember to take these small yet significant steps to ensure your mental well-being remains a priority.
