7 Self-Care Tips to Help You Survive the Holidays

So, we have a plate — and our plates are full of work, school, kids, exercise, spending time with friends, taking care of our animals, volunteering and, well, I guess we need to sleep too. So when something else gets heaped on our plate, something inevitably falls off. For me, exercise is the first to go, and it's always when I need it the most. My brain functions best if I have done something active in the morning. If this is you too, make time for it. Walk your dog for some quiet time. Take a spin class for some motivation. Kickbox to get your aggression out. Just move, and give your body and mind what it needs.
