Stress-Free Fitness and Self-Care

foto helin/AdobeStock.com D espite our best efforts, holiday time can frazzle our nerves and snag us in an unhealthy loop of overindulgence. To combat holiday pressure, the Mayo Clinic suggests maintaining a regular exercise program and investing in me-time activities like meditation and deep breathing.

Movement and simple self-care, even for a few minutes, can lower cortisol levels that often contribute to excessive food cravings. Walking, going for a run, lifting weights, or getting into the pool or onto the yoga mat can help us enjoy the season with less angst.

Cancelling Guilt, Staying Healthy

With simple strategies, enjoying the office party dessert table doesn’t have to get us off track. “One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself when reaching for a cookie is to be in full approval of eating it. Let your experience of eating it be clean, present and so free of resistance that you can really experience it,” says Maria Miller, a spiritual life coach in Oceanside, California.

Stephanie Mansour, host of the weekly national PBS health and fitness show Step It Up with Steph, also opts for a no-stress approach, especially when it comes to working out. “When cortisol levels are through the roof, we crave fattening, salty or sweet foods. Studies have shown that people have a more positive body image just after five minutes of exercise,” says the Chicagobased wellness coach. “This mindset is huge when it comes to eating healthier and taming holiday cravings.”

Bolstering neurotransmitters through good nutrition can take the edge off the to-do list or a gloomy winter day. “When

we fuel our bodies with a variety of whole foods, we are also supporting healthy brain function, which has a direct impact on our emotions,” says Teigan Draig, a life coach in Spencerville, Ohio. Draig suggests berries, citrus fruits, fresh fish, turkey, walnuts, almonds, avocados and eggs to boost serotonin and dopamine levels, “which improve mood and help to reduce the effects of stress and anxiety on the body.”

Prioritizing Self

Most of us are short on time, but committing to good health doesn’t require hours at the gym. “Many of my clients are looking for fast, simple workouts that they can squeeze in during the holidays,” says ManFrom Stephanie Mansour: n If you know you’re going to be out for holiday cocktails and sweets, commit to eating an additional serving of greens, perhaps by putting extra greens in your lunch salad, eating sautéed spinach before you leave for the party or adding greens to your protein shake in the morning.

n Set up a “self-care corner” in your home and stack it with motivational books, journals, candles and a cozy blanket. Designate this home sanctuary as a place you can go for peace, quiet and enjoyment without electronics.

n My clients have enjoyed using meditation apps that focus on a topic. Insight

Timer has meditations that focus on self-care, weight loss and sleep. I like the prayer app Hallow for people who are looking to improve their prayer life or do a meditation while praying.

From Ed Harrold: n Practice diaphragmatic breathing while walking, then take it into whatever exercise routine you enjoy. If you feel the need to mouth-breathe, slow down and reestablish a steady rhythm of breath.

n Use your breath as a tool to stay in the present moment; don’t place energy on outdated thought-forms. Be aware that you are exactly what the world needs right now, and the gifts you bring to the table are always big enough.

Conscious breathing makes the effects of workouts go further and halts the cascade of stress hormones.

Movement and simple self-care, even for a few minutes, can lower cortisol levels that often contribute to excessive food cravings.

sour. “Set the timer for five minutes and get down on the floor to do ab exercises. Doing leg lifts, bicycle abs and crunches for five minutes is an excellent way to fire up the core.” She also suggests setting the morning alarm or going to sleep at night five minutes earlier to do some stretches in bed. “If you’re cooking, you can do squats in the kitchen while a smoothie is blending or calf raises while stirring a pot on the stove.”

For Miller, putting on some music and dancing in the living room is a sure way to get a boost. She is also a fan of guilt-free, unplugged intervals of shut-eye: “Five-to-25-minute power naps are a great way to rest and recharge with a very high return on your investment of time.” During the winter months, it can be easy to turn to screens for distraction and as a way to cope with the stress of the season. Miller reminds us to nourish our souls and get out in nature to “notice the way the weather impacts your body, the way it feels to draw in a breath and how you’re part of a constant exchange with life through each breath you take.”

Inhaling Peace

Conscious breathing makes the effects of workouts go further and halts the cascade of stress hormones. “Whatever fitness routine you’re doing is fine, just always breathe through your nose. Mouth breathing triggers cortisol release,” says Ed Harrold, breathwork and performance coach in Draper, Utah, and author of Life with Breath. “When we slow the breath rate, we encourage a relaxation response. We can manage the release of cortisol by inhaling through the nose, slowly from the belly to the collarbone and exhaling slowly through the nose by gently drawing the belly back into the lower spine. This is called diaphragmatic breathing and is our proper breath, even during exercise.”

For nature, winter is a time of repose from which we can take a cue and enjoy the moment. Draig muses, “Mindfulness requires us to be present in the here and now, rather than worrying about the to-do list or stressing over holiday finances.”

In Balance Tai Chi Studio Re-Opens

On St. Patrick’s Day 2020, the doors to In Balance Tai Chi were closed, the students stopped coming, and the Age of Zoom was born. For more than 18 months, all tai chi and qigong classes were broadcast from the studio. Now In Balance is back offering classes in person, says Sifu David Cunniff, who owns the Brewster studio. “The studio is open for classes to anyone who is fully vaccinated,” he says. “The experience of attending studio classes will help you recharge your body and release tension from your muscles and mind. Qigong meditation and tai chi movements are very beneficial to the body, mind and maintaining optimal health.”

Qigong and tai chi combine slow, controlled breathing, stretching and balance postures. Classes offered include Shi-Ba-Shi (“the 18 Tai Chi Qigong Exercises”); Standing Eight Brocade; Silk Reeling; Tai Chi Ruler; and the Beijing 24 Posture Tai Chi form. Each class has a mixture of Qigong and Tai Chi movements, Cunniff says.

A new program being introduced at the studio is archery, an ancient art that is taught in Japan as a Zen meditation exercise.

“As the archer tries to become one with the bow and arrow, concentration, controlled breathing, balance and strength are all required for a successful completion of the shooting process,” Cunniff says. “All these concepts of drawing a bow are taught as part of qigong training.”

In Balance Tai Chi Studio will continue to offer classes on Zoom. Sifu David Cunniff

Location: In Balance Tai Chi Studio, 2505 Carmel Ave., Ste. 108, Brewster, NY. For more info, a class schedule and Zoom links, visit InBalanceTaiChi.com or call 845.803.1992.

December 2021

Astrology with Pamela Cucinell

Doorways Open

A tidal wave of emotion floods December 1. Focus on your most important goal December 2. Put old business to rest December 4; imagine new possibilities. The Sagittarius new moon / solar eclipse on December 4 offers the joy and potential of fortuitous fresh starts. Pursue a passion, whether work or romance, December 5. Productivity rocks December 6.

Pace Quickens

Connections gain traction December 7; be sure the goals are like-minded for directed results. Inspiration pops December 8, but tempers are short. Creativity soars December 9. Meditation and imagination magnify their rewards December 10. Take a big or even a baby step December 11 toward a coveted plan. Acceleration increases December 12 for any activity or project.

Shine Bright

Detours and challenges cannot stop momentum December 13. Take five December 14 when certain notions need reassessment. Stay the course December 15. Address practical applications and tasks on December 16. Invitations fly December 17 as spontaneity provides its own gift. The Gemini full moon December 18 offers opportunities for both work and play.

Venus Retrograde

Venus retrograde begins December 19, signifying a sense that money and love are on hold. Although this is not necessarily true, the retrograde is a good time to reflect on relationships and financial matters. An old friend or lover can appear. Enjoy conversations around the table on December 20. Bring some glamor and vibrancy into this winter solstice December 21; candles contrast any darkness. Not everyone shares the vision December 22. Responsibility chafes December 23 with the Saturn/Uranus picture; whatever the commitment, it must complement individual expression. Conversation is key December 24, when cranky people want to be heard.

2021: Time to Go!

Tremendous healing energy is available this Christmas. Listen and practice diplomacy to dissolve differences December 26. Harmony resounds December 27; make it count. Reach out and network December 28, when connections make magic. The stakes increase December 29, when tough research is worth it. Stick to a project or plan on December 30. The exuberance for a New Year is best celebrated with a vision for a higher octave of love. Welcome 2022 with unconditional joy.
