How To De-stress Your Holiday Season!
Hey there, we're smack in the middle of the holiday season, and I'm sure you can relate – the traffic, the shopping chaos, the straining finances, the extra long task list, can really amp up the stress levels. In fact, according to a recent Healthline survey, 62 percent of us feel the pressure during this festive time.
But guess what? I've got some tips to help us navigate through this holiday madness and keep our sanity intact.
Taking Time for Myself: The holidays can be overwhelming, but I'm making it a point to take a break and indulge in some self-care. Whether it's a mini pamper routine, or a bit of quiet time with good book, a bit of "me time" does wonders.
Eating Mindfully: With all the holiday parties and tempting comfort foods, I'm being mindful of what and how much I eat. Making sure I’m prioritizing protein, and filling up with vegetables will help keep me from over indulging. Plus, I've got Amare's Digestive for some extra digestive support if I overdo it.
Staying Active: No matter how crazy things get, I'm squeezing in a bit of exercise. Turns out, just 10-20 minutes can boost cognitive performance by 14%! Just getting out for a quick walk after dinner is good for the body and the mind
Getting My Sleep: Sleep is crucial, especially during the holidays. I'm making it a priority to stick to my regular sleep routine, and I've got Amare’s Sleep+ to help me get a restful night’s sleep, and I’m also adding Amare’s new melatonin free Kid’s Calm to my routine. It’s not just for kids!
Writing a Gratitude List: 'Tis the season for gratitude. I've started jotting down a couple of things I'm thankful for and keeping it where I can see it. It's a handy reminder during those stress-filled moments.
Staying Hydrated: Hydration is key for overall well-being, and it's easy to forget during the holiday rush. I really love Amare’s GBX Pep. for hydration, digestive support, and an extra energy boost without the jitters. A tasty alcohol free good-for-you alternative.
Fueling My Body: When I'm running around doing holiday errands, I'm making sure not to neglect my nutritional needs. If time's tight, I'm whipping up a nutrient-packed smoothie with Amare GBX Protein. It comes in Vanilla, Chocolate, Pumpkin Spice, or my favorite, Salted Caramel! And if you need a little extra nutritional boost, throw in a scoop of Amare GBX SuperFood for added greens and anti-stress benefits.
So there you have it – my guide to surviving and thriving this holiday season. Let's enjoy the festivities without letting the stress get the best of us! 🎉✨
