Too much Eggnog?



City the Kitty has had too much eggnog.




Oh, Holidays!



Peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate (omg!), little cups of rich eggnog (omg again!), green- and red-foiled Kisses, turkey and dressing and gravy and what's-that, and fruitcake (but, seriously, do you really touch the fruitcake? nuts and weird looking fruit - yikes!).



Cold windy days, less sunlight, online shopping (or a skinny wallet, so no power shopping), end-of-the-year meetings, office and friends' parties - Where did your tune-into-your-body-routine go?



Oh, Holidays!



It happens. The dessert tray and the 8pm Jack Frost premiere (v. your yoga class) tend to make us feel quite sluggish. Not all of us. Some of us. Many of us! Oh, but it's fun! But, it's also time to give to yourself. A few ideas:



*Take some time to cozy up next to the fire with your journal to write

*Buy proper winter gear (wind resistant scarf, gloves, hat and pants) for outside exercise

*Say no to holiday parties that add more stress than cheer

*Say yes to some childhood traditions that bring back warmth and smiles

*Buy a cinnamon broom (seriously, Publix sells them for $3.99) to light up your nose!



Those are ways to give to yourself and stay tuned into your body. Sometimes it can be so hard among all your obligations and to-do lists. Give it a shot, and enjoy yourself!
