Take a Break: Comfort yourself

Last week we focused on the joy in the seasonal wishes of “comfort and joy.” This week it’s all about providing comfort to yourself, particularly when you know you are stressing yourself out more than you should.

• Move: Be it walking around, standing up and stretching, going for a walk or dancing alone to some favorite music.

• Take a soak in a hot tub, bathtub or a long shower

• Focus on the present by not rehashing what’s been or what you fear is ahead

• Stop beating yourself up and extend the same kindness you’d extend to others as you would yourself.

• Listen to music that’s soothing

• Practice alternate nostril breathing

• Focus on what you are doing, be mindful

• Take a Break andBreathe 

• Take a Break: Try Breath Walking
