Its time to rest

As December is in full swing of festive spirit, and the invitations are flowing in, it is very easy to
become overwhelmed and overstimulated. In a world where we are told to speed up over a
season when we are meant to be slowing down, it can become all too much, and you just want to
hide.
Taking time out for yourself, slowing down is important to your health as well as your nervous
system. We need time to breath and rest. This is so important to us at nature beings.
We are designed to slow down and reflect and enjoy the warmth of family and the blankets while
watching a movie.
So how can you take time for yourself in this crazy season. Here are 3 of my favourite things to
do: –
1: Be out in nature. Wrap up warm, take that flask of something hot and go for a walk. On your
own or with the family. Just being in nature can calm our nervous system and even better it
doesn’t have to take all day. Just a few hours. With the fresh air, the natural surroundings, no
phone or gadgets, it can really help calm the mind and help your rest.
Not only is it great for the soul, but it gets your body moving, blood flowing which is great to help
calm those nerves and motivate those happy hormones that we all so desperately need.
2: To curl up under a blanket with a good book or movie. I like to do this with family or without.
Being snuggled under a blanket has a sense of calm and helps relax. The fluffier the blanket the
better. I also like to lamp warm lighting or the Christmas lights on. There is something comforting
about cosiness of a warm light, under a blanket, snuggled down and just resting. Even if you take
a little nap, even better. I do love a good nap.
3: Treating my skin. Going to have a facial or massage. There is something amazing when you
take that hour to yourself and treat your skin too. But this isn’t just a luxury treat. This is important
to relaxing your nervous system, and taking that moment to breath and just be. Even have a little
snooze if you will.
For me these 3 things really give me a sense of peace and slowing down. It helps regulate my
nervous system in this crazy run up to Christmas.
Knowing that I can offer you one of these things is so important to me. Whether you book a
hands on facial, with natural, vegan and cruelty free products or have the holistic facial, where I
hand make the skincare products for you, this experience really helps people relax. From the
moment you walk in and snuggle under that blanket, this is your time to relax, take time and rest.
So what ever way you like to relax this Christmas, just make sure you take some time for you.
This world is crazy busy as it is, and sometimes we just need to slow down a little .
Merry Christmas
