 A holiday meditation to reset your body and mind for a stressfree season. Hello and happy holidays! This time of year is filled with rich moments and experiences. Maybe you absolutely love this season and are in a place of peace. Or perhaps you really struggle this time of year.  Maybe you feel alone. Or family dynamics are challenging. Or you just feel overwhelmed by a mix of all the emotions. You have moments of peace and joy and other moments of loneliness, anxiety, or even sadness.

Personally, I love the holidays but struggle to cope with seasonal stress. Over the years, I've found ways to help myself so I don't turn into a grinch. One of my seasonal stressbusting strategies is to practice what I call the "power pause". This simple practice involves finding a few minutes to stop, be quiet, and reset daily.  I don't need much time, even 1 minute goes far in helping me to reset my mind. During these daily "power pause" moments, I choose to practice a few minutes of deep breathing or simple guided meditation. I find that when I take the time to give myself a few minutes to reset, I can return to the busy holiday life as my best self. I thought since this practice has worked for so many of my clients, it might be helpful for you. Here's how to do it:

Holiday Meditation: "The Power Pause"

Find a quiet space for yourself. This can be outside on your front porch, in your car, in your backyard, in the back of the airplane, in your closet wherever works! Politely excuse yourself from the holiday festivities or just say you are going to the restroom and will be right back (you won't be gone for long, promise).
Once you find space for yourself. Pause.
Take a DEEP belly breath. To do this, breathe in so that your belly fills with air first. Then move your breath into your ribs and last into your chest.
Hold your breath for a moment.
To release the breath, move the air in reverse. Let it exhale out through your chest, then the ribs, and then through the stomach.
Do this deep breath 5 times total (if you have more time, feel free to do more). Through the belly, up to the chest. Out through the chest, then down through the belly. Feel your nervous system calm down. Shift your mind back to focus on your intention for your day/holiday. How do you want to show up at this moment? Who do you want to be? What are your goals for this time in your life? Have a clear vision of how you want to show up and live positively in this moment.
After you've completed at least 5 cycles of deep breathing, bring your awareness back. Notice how you feel. Do you feel less anxious, nervous, stressed, or on edge? Do you have more calm, clarity, and peace? Return to your day or festivities in this state of being. After you practice the power pause, observe if it helps influence the rest of your day.

Done consistently, this power pause meditation can help you direct your life in the direction of your intentions. I suggest practicing the power pause at least once a day when you feel you need to hit the reset button. Try out this technique this holiday and let me know in the comments below if it helps you honor your healthy living goals.

My intention in sharing this holiday meditation with you today is to remind you about what is most important not only this time of year but in every moment of every day, which is to be present in your life and fill it with love.
