Here we are again, in the holiday season of giving. Stress seems to pile up with budgeting time and money to fulfill holiday requests and wish lists, and all on top of our regular hectic schedules.
The ideal of the 'holiday spirit' is of brotherhood and joy, family and friends, not the stress and exhaustion it tends to become. Consequently, these factors create just the opposite of cheer as patience and respect for one another is easily lost.
So what is a simple remedy to relieve the stress and exhaustion? The answer is simple, to gift one of the most overlooked people on our lists... ourselves.
We need to gift ourselves with quality personal time away from the stresses of our day, practice! Whether it be sweating out an intense workout in group class, hitting the bags and practicing forms, or taking some time to breathe and meditate, the best gift is some pure, filtered, genuine time.
Be selfish, workout, practice! Clear your mind, and then get back out there to embrace the stress with true holiday cheer.
