Scheduling time to slow down amidst the holiday excitement is crucial for mental health. Try a walk, yoga or meditation session or deep-breathing exercise to recharge and find your zen. Apps like Headspace, Calm or 10% Happier make a short, guided session possible anywhere.
Moving at a slower pace allows us to absorb all the sights, sounds and smells that appear only once a year. Whether you’re sipping on a mulled cider or strolling down a wintry street with glittering lights, make every effort to marinate in the moment and remain present.
