The holidays are hectic and finding time to rest and relax can be a challenge. After indulging in treats, celebrations, shopping and decorating, fitting in time to detox can be a necessity. Make relaxing and detoxing part of your holiday routine to ensure you have a fulfilling and rewarding holiday experience.

Give Yourself a Mental Break

Whether enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, meditating or taking time to read a book, set aside time for yourself. Fit in 10 or 15 minutes to just sit and mentally relax. Time on your own, particularly first thing in the morning, can help you reset and prepare for the rest of your day. Going into your day with the right attitude and mindset can ensure you are grounded and ready for whatever festivities or stressors come your way.

Keep Your Normal Routines

With a packed to-do list, it can be tempting to stay up late in order to put up the last of the decorations, prepare holiday meals, wrap gifts or take on other tasks. Shorting yourself on sleep will take a toll and impact the next day. Resist the urge to stay up later than normal and maintain your regular sleep schedule. Consistent sleep ensures you will be alert and better equipped for your day. You can always figure out how to fit in tomorrow whatever tasks you were unable to complete today.

Exercise Away Stress and Calories

Keep your regular exercise routine or consider adding a consistent workout if exercise is not a part of your normal schedule. Exercise can help combat holiday treats and reduce stress, ensuring a better night’s rest. Some simple yoga poses can relieve stress, release tension and even promote the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Indulge and Celebrate the Holidays

This time of year only comes once a year (thankfully!), so enjoying the holidays is important and can be beneficial in other wyas. Spending time with loved ones and participating in traditions can be comforting and enjoyable, while also reducing stress. Less stress leads to better sleep.

Start to Wind Down Before Bed

Stimulants in any form will not do you any favors when you try to turn in. Avoid alcoholic or caffeinated drinks several hours before bed. If you watch television in the evening, steer clear of dramas or programing that is mentally stimulating, so your mind can relax and much more easily make the transition to sleep.

Use Aromatherapy

Create a relaxing sensory experience to prepare for sleep with the use of aromatherapy. Essential oils or even lighting scented candles are excellent ways to gently infuse the air with lavender, lemon, eucalyptus or even frankincense and myrrh. Scents can trigger a variety of responses from tranquility and serenity to meditation and more. Find the right scent to help you relax or refocus or even drift off to a deep and quality sleep.

Mentally Prepare for Rest

Start to prepare for bed about an hour before you plan to go to sleep. Take a warm bath or shower to relax your body and mind. Apply a luxury body wrap to aid in relaxation. These organic cotton wraps can be warmed in the microwave and radiate a gentle heat. When applied over the eyes, on the shoulders or anyplace else on the body, they provide a soothing experience that melts away stress and induces a feeling of peacefulness.

Transform Your Bedroom Into a Restful Sanctuary

Set the tone for rest by dimming the lights, closing the blinds and reducing screen time. Make your bed with soft and luxurious bedding.
