Watch a Movie

In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow - Pico Iyer

The Holiday can bring up a range of emotions…love, joy, happiness…but for many, the holidays also bring up feelings like stress, sadness, and anxiety...

Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, dealing with uncomfortable family dynamics, or missing those far away…sometimes the holidays can be difficult… 

Since today is just one of the many holidays in the month of December, I will discuss a self care tool that everyone can do today, whether celebrating or not, and honestly this is a tool that can be done any day for that matter… Today's self care tool is to watch a movie. 

Watching a movie can help you when emotions run high or low…or somewhere in between… Making time for you…or time for you and your pet… or with your chosen loved ones… can be a healing and relaxing moment in the midst of the holiday craze. You choose the movie - holiday, comedy, drama, or maybe even a scary movie - whatever feels good to your soul in the moment - Do. It. Up. 

Give yourself some time for comfy clothes…maybe some popcorn and hot chocolate…and a good movie. This self care tool is really appropriate for any time of the year…a Tuesday night, a Saturday night, and even a holiday! So today, relax, unwind, and enjoy watching a movie! 

Happy Holidays everyone!
