Give To Others, Receive Personal Joy

Red Christmas Gifts And Presents With White RibbonIt feels good to give during the holiday season. There are so many less fortunate people who deserve a little cheer at this time of the year. Today, we are sharing ways that you can give to others in order to receive personal joy.

Volunteer your time
Sign up to be a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. Or spend your Saturday providing meals to the homeless.

Sign up to help a family in need
There are so many families who can’t afford gifts for their children or can’t afford to have a holiday meal. When my girls were in high school there was a program to adopt a family. Each classroom took on a family that could not afford certain things at the holidays. All of the presents were wrapped and hand delivered for the children to open. It really made my girls feel good.

Invite someone to spend the holidays with you
Sadly, there are so many people who don’t have anyone to spend the holidays with. No one should be alone. If you want to help spread the holiday cheer invite an elderly neighbor to eat with you. It will make your day and theirs.

Donate household items or money
It always seems that we acquire so much stuff at the holidays. I have a friend who had a rule for children; for every toy they got at Christmas they had to donate one to charity. It’s the perfect way to give and declutter!

Focusing on wellness of the mind is really important during the holiday season. If you’re interested in more ways to center your mind pick up the Women’s Mind Body Wellness Summit today!

5 Tips for Lowering Stress Before Family Arrives

Family Together Christmas Celebration ConceptThe holidays are all about family. When you’re hosting, it can be stressful to get everything done before everyone arrives. It’s important to stay on top of everything and be prepared so you avoid burning yourself out or getting sick. Today, we’re sharing tips to lower your stress before your family arrives.

Plan ahead
Clean the house and go grocery shopping before out-of-town family arrives. You want the house to be presentable for them, but it also will be too difficult to work around them. Double the people in your house means double the mess. So forgo the stress and have everything ready before they arrive.

Meditate
Cooking a huge meal can be very stressful. About an hour before everyone arrives set aside some time to meditate. Mediating will help to calm your nerves and reset your focus.

Take time for you
Make sure you allow time for yourself. You’re hosting and you want to look nice. Be sure you have enough time to shower and do your hair and makeup, so you’re the star of the party.

Hit the gym
This falls under the category of take time for you. It’s extremely important that you don’t let your workout routine suffer just because you’re hosting a holiday party or you have family coming in from out of town. Even if you don’t have time to go to the gym do a quick workout at home – pick up the Women’s Mind Body Wellness Summit for an exclusive 15-minute calorie blasting workout!

Make sure you get sleep
Don’t stay up super late the night before cooking and cleaning. Get yourself to bed early so you’re well rested. Your body can’t function properly on too little sleep.

It is so important to focus on body wellness while preparing for family to visit for the holidays. I hope you’ve found these tips helpful to lowering your stress this holiday season!
