1. Remember the reason for the season - whatever holiday you celebrate, be mindful of its meaning, not the commercialized frenzy that tends to overwhelm us.
2. Give thanks - offer gratitude for the things we often take for granted, warm hugs, smiles and just plain kindness.
3. Feed your soul - take time to enjoy the foods of the season, nourish your body with wholesome meals and relish in the effects of table, sitting with family and friends.
4. Quiet your mind - allow yourself time to rest and truly be present in your body and breath. Stop and pay attention to how you feel. Stress can take its toll on physical and mental health.
5. Move your body - yoga is an amazing way to bring body, mind and spirit into union as well as providing an outlet for physical fitness. Find the time to participate in other fitness activities that suit you. Just move - go for a walk, join a class or perhaps even try an exercise video.
6. Maintain balance - you can enjoy the season's indulgences and recover quickly if you maintain balance
