R AND R TIP # 77: RELIEF is in the simple things
Many of us tend to get stressed out this time of year and I found a few SIMPLE THINGS that might just keep us all a bit more peaceful.
Enjoy a Candy Cane
Studies show that just the menthol smell alone will pep you up to enjoy the holiday festivities. It's also yummy for your tummy, helping to calm an upset stomach.
Grin While You Shop
Having a cheery attitude during the holiday season increases the chances that those around you will feel warm and fuzzy too, according to one study.
Make Friends With Hot Cocoa
Just holding a warm beverage makes us more generous and friendly, And it turns out that warm hands are linked to warm hearts by way of a part of the brain called the insula, which helps process both physical temperature and emotions.
Peel Yourself a Clementine
When researchers mapped the moods created by certain fragrances, they found the scent of this sweet, juicy fruit more likely to boost joy. Not only will a whiff of one help keep you happy, the vitamin C, calcium, and potassium in it will help keep you healthy too.
Now that Thanksgiving is over most of us will be getting ready for Christmas. There is an old Christmas carol that says.. All is Calm, All is bright.. Keep Calm and Bright this holiday season. Relax, Enjoy, and Remember to get that much needed Rest too
See you all next week!
Love, Live, Laugh and Be Happy!
