You also could add a holiday-scented candle to the mix and watch the flickering flame.

(2) Spend several hours with people who get you, who love and accept you unconditionally.

Planning a Christmas party? These are the people to invite.

(3) Try a mindfulness meditation with a holiday theme. Like this one...

Mindfulness Meditation Moment

​Get comfy, close your eyes, and take a slow, deep breath. Picture yourself in the middle of a cozy holiday moment and let yourself soak in the experience.

As you breathe in, imagine a warm, glowing light inside you, a little spark of joy. This is your inner spirit, lighting up your path to the best version of yourself.

And as you breathe out, let go of any stress or worries. Feel the heaviness lift, leaving you calm and centered.

Take one last deep breath, and when you feel ready, open your eyes.

Which One Do You Need Today?

(4) Start singing your favorite Christmas carols. Keep going until you notice how much better you're feeling.

(5) Get a good night's sleep, and if that is many hours away, take a nap, with a cozy holiday blanket.

So, of the five ideas, which one do you need most, or are you most eager to try?

See you next time!

Love, Jeanine
