The holidays, and especially Christmas, bring with them a mixture of feelings of anxiety, nostalgia and sadness, as much as they bring beauty and magic with their arrival.
But even such a beautiful time as Christmas is important to take care of our mental health and find ways to calm down and relax, creating routines and rituals appropriate for the season.
How we choose to spend our days, the atmosphere we create for ourselves and our family at home, is the way we live.
Why do we need a winter relaxation ritual?
The more special the holidays and the festive season, the more special the routine that you will create, in order to match the season. Sounds funny, but if you think about it, it’s not. Every period of our lives is special for a variety of reasons, and how you treat those times should also be special.
For example, when else would you say let me enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, if not Christmas? This is a self-care practice that you usually do at certain times, such as the holidays.
After all, if you think about the things you sometimes do for yourself, you will see that they differ from season to season.
Make sleep a priority
Sleep is always essential in every period of our lives. Especially the holidays, when we will definitely have five more things in our program. Being relaxed will help you manage potentially stressful situations, which unfortunately also exist during the holidays.
Relax body and mind with essential oils
Essential oils could not be missing from any ritual. Every ritual has to do with the time you give yourself to live the now and leave a little the busy everyday life.
One of the most effective ways to do this is by listening to your senses. And nothing awakens the senses like essential oils — especially when they smell like this special time of year.
Do meditation
At this time of year, gratitude is all around us, as we magically catch ourselves appreciating everything we have in our lives.
It is the ideal time to meditate, listen to your positive thoughts and block any negative emotions.
However, since the season allows it, do not forget to add plenty of light from light bulbs to your personal self-care ritual. They have a magical way of making everything more beautiful.
