Do holiday family gatherings stress you out? Me too, even though I love so many things about them.
Here are 3 simple tips to help you to relieve stress, digest better, and protect yourself from energy vampires, or simply other people’s moods, during holiday family gatherings.
Best of all you can use these tips at a dinner table WITHOUT drawing any attention to yourself. 🙂
You can either keep reading or watch my latest video showing you these exercises.
- Use a modified (self) hug to relieve stress and anxietyThis hug is known as Triple Warmer/Spleen hug. It’s similar to crossing your arms. Instead of holding both palms on your arms, you hold one on your ribcage and the other one on the arm. And then you switch arms.It’s super soothing!
- Hold your fingertips & cross your ankles to protect your energy from energy invaders and vampiresA simple way to do that is the hold all your finger tips together and cross your ankles. It works like a charm. Try it.Not that I’m implying anyone in your family or party is like that. 🙂
- Improve digestionWith all the turkey (or tofurkey in my case) and the pies, you want a way to digest your food faster and more efficiently than normal. You can use three fingers to massage the middle of your trunk right below the breast bone to digest food better.
