I know we normally talk about entertaining ideas but as we enter into the busy holiday season I thought we could talk about what comes after the party or during the preparation of the party - STRESS! Yikes! What a buzz kill that can be. So, if you're like me and you've been burning the candle on both ends for way too long then this blog's for you!!
It's time to stop, drop and breathe. This will help you to go from feeling like your head's about to explode to feeling like you are in control again. Start by sitting in a quiet place in front of a lit candle. Lisa Druxman, founder of Stroller Strides, recommends watching the flame flicker, and imagine that you can steady it by making your breath smooth and even, breathing softly in through the nose and out through the mouth (trust me I've been doing a lot of this). Act as if the more peaceful your body, the more peaceful the flame. If a draft moves it, simply focus on bringing the flame back to stillness again.
