💆 Take a Break Before the Holiday Rush

Between making lists, hauling groceries and getting the house ready for company, it’s easy to go from one thing to the next without sitting down.

Here’s your minute for today. While the coffee brews or dinner warms up, sit down, rest your hands in your lap and let your shoulders drop. Take a few easy breaths. The list can wait until the coffee’s ready.
