January 2025 Wellness Tip
During the holiday season many of us found ourselves caught up in a whirlwind of holiday preparations, family gatherings, and endless to-do lists. In the midst of all the excitement, we tend to forget or just completely put off prioritizing self-care. While prioritizing others before you is wonderful, it could cause some impact on your health. Now that we are in the new year, it marks a great time to get back on track and refocus on YOU! Below are a few tips to help get you back on track in a safe and effective way!
Unwind:
With all the holiday shopping, cooking, and preparations comes holiday stress! Tension or stress can cause our bodies to become tense and fatigued. Incorporating stretching into your routine can alleviate built-up tension, improve flexibility, and increase circulation.
Recharge:
The holidays can be overwhelming leaving little time for relaxation. However, incorporating simple relaxation techniques into your daily routine can have a profound impact on your well-being. Take a few minutes each day to practice deep breathing exercises or meditation. These techniques can help reduce stress, improve focus, and promote emotional balance.
Regain Control:
If you are someone who regularly exercises, but took time off to get holiday preparations done, don’t be surprised if it takes you a little bit to get back to your baseline of exercise. Jumping right back in where you left off, depending on your physicality, can lead to injury. Take your time and slowly reintroduce your body to the exercises you were doing. Try starting with less weight, less repetitions, or if you do aerobic exercise, maybe a little less time. Then slowly work your way back to where you left off. Don’t worry, you’ll get there!
Just stick with a plan of getting 30 minutes of exercise each day and it will help you have a very healthy and prosperous 2025!
