Get through the festive season in a relaxed way…
For many people, the festive season is a cosy time, but also a hectic one. You’ve got those days off, but in reality you’re just really busy. Some people are already planning their Christmas celebrations as early as September.
It’s a bit easier for me this year: I’m in Spain with my family and the four of us are having a lovely time together. Probably with a relaxed winter barbecue 😉
Buying presents, doing the shopping for Christmas dinner, schoolchildren who have to bring all sorts of things to school in December for a Christmas craft project, breakfast or dinner… You name it! It’s often hard enough to start the run-up to Christmas feeling relaxed, let alone during the Christmas holidays themselves.
As I’m spending the festive season in such a relaxed way this year, I’d like to share a few tips with you to help you get through December a bit more calmly too.
Look after yourself!
That’s actually my first tip! Make a plan, set your boundaries and do things that give you energy, such as a massage or yoga. Once you’ve put your plan down on paper, you might just find your mind becomes calmer.
Sometimes it’s also good to no to say. A no against someone else is a yes for yourself. Let those around you know what you need, so that people know where they stand. If you organise the family Christmas dinner every year and end up spending the whole day in the kitchen, you could suggest sharing the cooking so that everyone brings something. Or perhaps it could be held at someone else’s house this year.
Look after yourself with natural products
Of course, you can look after yourself very well with De Groene Linde’s products.
As our range is quite extensive, I’d like to share a few of my favourite products that you can use during this period.
It can be tricky to set your boundaries, especially with family, and certainly during the festive season. The ‘Boundaries’ fragrance helps you feel empowered and protected, and makes people less likely to take advantage of you. A really lovely source of support for anyone who’s highly sensitive!
A real life-saver during the festive rush! This handy roller fits easily into your bag. When you’re feeling stressed, roll some oil onto your hands, rub them together to warm them up, and cup your hands around your nose and mouth. Breathe deeply in and out and feel the calm return.
Are you finding it really difficult with your family or in-laws at the moment? If so, I’d recommend the Aura Rescue Roll on. It sounds intense, but family can really push you to your limits sometimes 😉. When a strong emotion arises, you can roll and breathe in the same way. That’s how you release the ‘shock’ from your energy body.
Don’t forget to give yourself a thorough energetic cleanse. After those hectic days, you might feel completely drained. The Rock Crystal aura spray not only cleanses you energetically, but also restores your balance. Don’t just cleanse yourself, but also the room if you’ve celebrated Christmas there. You can sometimes still feel the hustle and bustle long after everyone’s gone! Just a quick spritz in every corner of the room, and you’ll immediately notice that there’s more space.
Make sure you keep both feet firmly on the ground with Mother Earth during this time. By letting this scent support you, you’ll feel more confident, find it easier to say no and be less likely to let things get to you. Feel free to start as early as December, so you can get through the whole month feeling stronger 😉.
Also handy: the Roll-On Mother Earth. This contains the Mother Earth blend and is ready to use straight away, as it has already been diluted with jojoba oil. Perfect for keeping on your bedside table – apply a little to the soles of your feet every evening and morning.
I wish you all a relaxing and enjoyable festive season. Hopefully, the delicious, natural products from De Groene Linde will help you to really enjoy yourselves this year!
