#009: A moment of calm - Find some YOU time
by Valerie |
Betwixmas has arrived, and whether you’re waking up to the joyful chaos of family, quiet mornings to yourself, back to the office or something in between, I want to send a little note to acknowledge you—wherever and however you are today.
For many, this can be time of celebration, connection, and cherished traditions. But for others, it can be a time that brings feelings of overwhelm, nostalgia, or even loneliness. It might be a time when the absence of a loved one is felt more sharply, or when the pressure to feel a certain way feels particularly heavy. If you’re navigating the highs and lows, or if this season brings up feelings of loss or grief, please know that you’re not alone, and there’s no “right” way to experience this.
With that in mind, we’ve prepared a special meditation guide, created to help you find a moment of peace and calm amidst everything. Whether you need a breather before guests arrive, a few minutes of stillness in the middle of the festivities, a way to wind down at the end of the day, or simply a gentle escape from the weight of festivities, this guide is here for you. It’s a small way to offer you space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself—because you deserve that, today and always.
Wherever you are, however you’re feeling, we’re wishing you moments of lightness, calm, and self-kindness. Take a moment to breathe, be gentle with yourself, and remember that it’s okay to feel whatever comes up.
How Does Regular Meditation Reduce Anxiety or Stress?
If anxiety’s been camping out rent-free in your brain, you’re not alone. Perimenopause, Christmas, work, life… it’s a lot. But here’s the good news: meditation can be your secret weapon to dial down stress and tell that racing mind to take a seat.
We’re breaking down how regular meditation works its magic on your brain and body—no incense or chanting required (unless you’re into that). Think of it as a daily mental reset button to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more you. Ready to give your mind a little love? Let’s dive in.
