How to Stay Happy and Relaxed through the Holiday Rush

Published by Vicki on

Quick question: Do you know the real meaning of the Holiday Season? It goes beyond decorations and food of course, everyone knows that, but it’s probably not what you think. Sure, the message of “Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards Men” is a big one, but how do you live that in your daily life?

We can take our cues from Nature. During the winter months, the birds fly south, the trees drop their leaves and animals go dormant for long periods of time. And likewise, we are required to go inward – physically and spiritually – get quiet and REST. Yes, it is crucial for us to slow down, not just so we don’t drop dead from stress (or freak out on a total stranger – so much for the goodwill thing), but so we can relax into the bounty of the year’s work and really appreciate it, rather than gulp it down and get back to the grind.

This year, perhaps more than ever, it is necessary to kick back, relax and receive everything you deserve. Pleasure, enjoyment, sleep, satisfaction. They are all there for you if you slow down just enough. Join me here on Wellness Wednesday to find out how to relax into the season and have enough physical and emotional energy to achieve “Peace on Earth” – at least in your little world. And then you can start sharing it.

I’m Vicki Wiepking - a wellness coach, writer and teacher. I love to play outdoors and try not to take anything too seriously - myself especially. I work with busy women who are ready to start a new lifestyle, let go of negative thinking and basically anything else that is weighing them down. I help my clients embrace their best selves and stop listening to the voice that makes them self-sabotage. Yeah, we all have that little voice - and I'll help you make it work for you instead of against you! I have always been a student of alternative health and wellness, and wanted to find a way to combine my love of nutrition, essential oils, yoga, and nature into a productive lifestyle for myself. I started a wellness coaching practice and began working with clients over 15 years ago. Through the years I observed first hand how women specifically needed help in their daily lives on not just physical, but emotional and psychological levels as well. So, I developed the Mind Body Blueprint. It is designed to help busy women achieve their health and fitness goals. But first, a few things about me.... - I love doing laundry.  No ironing, and I don’t really separate colors.  My hubby doesn’t let me touch his clothes.  Maybe that’s why I like it… - I take bubble baths almost every night.  Sanctuary time for sure. - I turn the music up in the car and sing real loud. You do it too, I've seen you. - My favorite shows: Gone with the Wind – Scarlett rocks.  Grace and Frankie – because I love laughing and crying at the same time. - Cooking calms me down…until I get too many things going at once and wreck something.  It all tastes good in the end usually. - Thanks to my yoga practice I can still do the splits and a pretty good handstand.  Cartwheels optional. My hubby and I are obsessed with outdoor adventures. You might find us whitewater rafting, skiing or relaxing on the beach - depending on the season.
