It’s easy to get caught up in the stress and forget to take care of ourselves, especially in the holiday season.
In this episode of The Dr. Dolores Show, we’ll explore practical tips and strategies for festive self care.
The Dr. Dolores Show: Festive Self Care Guide
1. Allow Yourself The Grace to Be Who You Are
One of the most important things to remember is to embrace who you are, on your own terms.
The holidays can bring expectations and pressures from family and society, but giving yourself permission to be authentic allows for a more fulfilling and stress free experience.
2. Protect Your Energy
“Nothing can come into your energy field unless you allow it.”
This powerful reminder encourages you to set boundaries and protect your personal space.
Whether it’s negative energy, overwhelming obligations, or unrealistic expectations, remember that you have control over what you accept into your life.
3. Create a Self Care Toolkit
Now is the perfect time to develop a self care toolkit that supports your spiritual, mental, physical and emotional well being.
Your toolkit might include meditation, journaling, exercise, or simply taking moments to breathe and relax.
Prioritizing self care allows you to show up as your best self during the festivities.
Here are exact ways and suggestions to include in your Self Care Toolkit…
Spiritual Well Being:
- Practice meditation or prayer.
- Engage in nature walks or grounding exercises.
- Read spiritual or inspirational books.
- Create a gratitude journal.
- Incorporate rituals that bring peace and connection.
Mental Well Being:
- Practice mindfulness techniques.
- Set boundaries to protect your mental space.
- Listen to podcasts on topics you are interested in.
- Read books.
- Seek professional support when needed.
Physical Well Being:
- Establish a regular exercise routine.
- Stay hydrated and eat nourishing foods.
- Prioritize restful sleep.
- Try relaxation techniques such as yoga or deep breathing.
- Practice good hygiene and grooming.
Emotional Well Being:
- Connect with supportive friends and family.
- Practice self compassion and affirmations.
- Express your emotions through journaling or art.
- Set aside time for hobbies that bring joy, or listen to uplifting music
- Limit exposure to negativity and stressful environments.
4. Simplify Your Gift Giving
Gift giving doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful.
Simplifying the process by focusing on meaningful, thoughtful gifts rather than quantity can reduce stress and create more heartfelt connections with loved ones.
The holidays should be about being spontaneous and in the moment, rather than stuck in overthinking and planning.
Letting go of perfectionism and embracing the present can lead to more meaningful and joyful experiences.
5. Put Your Needs First
Dr. Dolores Fazzino reminds us to “put your needs as a priority this holiday season.”
Self care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary.
By prioritizing your well being, you can better enjoy the holidays and be present for those around you.
6. Create New Traditions If Needed
If your family’s traditions no longer resonate with you, it’s a sign that it may be time to create new ones.
Traditions should bring joy and connection, not stress or obligation.
Embrace changes that align with your values and desires.
7. Recognize Your Sensitivity as a Gift
Your sensitivity is not a weakness, it’s a gift.
Being sensitive allows you to connect deeply with others and bring empathy and compassion to those around you.
Recognize that your sensitivity is something the world needs.
By embracing it, you contribute to a more compassionate and understanding society.
Dr. Dolores shares personal experiences and guidance on how to handle holiday stress, practice mindfulness, and cultivate gratitude.
