✨ Holiday Stress & Your Nervous System ✨
If the holidays feel overwhelming, your body isn’t failing, your nervous system is asking for support. Here are 5 gentle ways to care for it this season:
1️⃣ Slow your mornings
Even 5–10 quiet minutes before checking your phone helps signal safety to your nervous system.
2️⃣ Choose warm, grounding foods
Soups, stews, roasted vegetables, and herbal teas help calm the body during high-stimulation days.
3️⃣ Create small rituals
A nightly stretch, breathwork, or journaling moment can bring regulation back into your day.
4️⃣ Protect your energy
It’s okay to say no, leave early, or take breaks from social gatherings.
5️⃣ Prioritize rest without guilt
Rest is not laziness — it’s how your nervous system repairs and resets.
✨ Gentle care is medicine too.
Save this as your reminder to slow down and listen to your body this holiday season. 🤍
