🌲🍁🦃 The holidays are around the corner! If you’re feeling stressed or anxious ... here's a quick way to turn it around! 🥳🥰

💡 When you breathe, make your EXHALE longer than your INHALE. (Seriously, try it right now. It’s kind of magical!)

👉🏾 This works with your body’s nervous system (through your vagus nerve) to help shut down your body’s stress response AND release feel-good relaxing hormones, helping to calm you! For even greater benefit, try to breathe through your nose vs. your mouth.

Avoid muscle strain with these tips.

Shoveling Snow Safely

Push the snow with your legs.

Maintain a perfect posture and keep your spine in a neutral position.

If you are tall, consider an ergonomic snow shovel. This type of shovel will help you to not hunch over the shovel.

A straight handled snow shovel works well if you are short. However, be attentive to your posture when using a short shovel.

Limit how much you rotate or twist your body when clearing the snow.

Point your feet in the direction you are pushing the snow.

Lift the snow by engaging a proper squat.

Maintain a wide stance and bend from your hip and knees.

Keep your elbows by your side when lifting the snow.
Move your front foot in the direction you plan to throw the snow.

Use your legs and trunk to assist in the toss rather than just your arms.

Be safe and enjoy the snow.
