The holiday season is a time of love, connection, and giving. Time can go by so fast, often focusing so much on others, we forget to take care of ourselves. Even the tiniest moment of self-care can make a difference to your own happiness, and the amount of gratitude and joy you are able to share with others. By practicing self-compassion, and allowing yourself a few moments to breathe, you can transform the holidays from a sometimes exhausting, stressful time, to one filled with even more laughter, hope, and love.

Some of our favorite self-care practices include:

• Take a walk outside
• Listen to your favorite music
• Make and enjoy a cup of tea
• Take a bath
• Meditate
