Stress-Less Movement - Day 4

Dec 12

Welcome to Day 4 of the 12 Days of Wellness 2024. Here is your tip for today.

Staying active during the holidays doesn’t have to be complicated. Movement can help manage stress, improve sleep, and boost energy, making it perfect for navigating this busy season.

Why It’s Important

Regular movement reduces stress hormones like cortisol.
It increases endorphins, giving you a natural mood boost.
Short bouts of activity can be just as effective as long workouts.

Take a 10-minute walk after meals to clear your mind and help with digestion.

3 Quick Tips to Implement

Take a 10-minute walk after meals to clear your mind and help with digestion.
Use holiday errands to get steps in—park farther away or take the stairs (as long as it is safe). And parking farther away means less stress over “fighting” for a parking space.
Incorporate family-friendly activities like dancing or playing outdoors.

Take Action Today: Schedule 10–15 minutes of movement to energize your body and calm your mind.
