A Christmas Wish:
Are you frizzle frazzelled? Time to take a little break
Maybe you have everything done and you are all ready for the holidays. Lucky you! But, if you still feel that everything is overwhelming, then here is some help to get away from it all.
It's time to take a little time for yourself, and do something that relaxes you and makes you feel refreshed, even if it is just for a few minutes.
Take a tea break. I watch a lot of British tv. Tea is the cure for just about everything. If you have a special cup or teapot that just adds to the magic.
Have a mini spa moment. We used to put used wet teabags on our eyes. Or under them. Don't forget to let them cool. The tannin in the tea was supposed to make our eyes feel less tired. Also the caffeine! There are lots of products you can purchase now, but the principle is the same. Adhesive eye patches are placed under the eyes for several minutes or even overnight. Most of them also contain caffeine. This helps with puffy tired eyes.
Taking a little time for journaling or reading also helps. This is like a little vacation get-a-way.
Listen to some non-Christmas music for a little while. Sometimes we've had enough jingle.
Take a walk. Look at nature. Watch the birds.
Work on a puzzle. It's good for your brain. And it's easy to start and stop. I am always afraid that I will get to the end and a piece will be missing. This year I am trying to conquer that fear.
Or take a short nap. When she was very young my daughter used to say, "I'm just going to take a little rest." And then she would fall asleep, no matter where she was. She still likes naps.
As for me, I'm off to drink a cup of tea.
