Holiday Stress

11/1/2018

 

Jennifer Doctorovich, NTP, FSCP
Getting ROOTED over the Holidays!

While the holiday season is often full of family and tradition, it can also be stressful with expectations around trying to make people happy, or even that life is “perfect” when so many people find themselves alone. This month, we heard how nutrtional therapist Jennifer Doctorovich uses personality types, foods that support the adrenals, and stress management techniques like journaling, grounding, yoga, affirmations, and mindfulness to keep emotionally and physically healthy so that the holidays can be enjoyable again.

In this talk, using a blend of science and spirituality, we explored how the root element is what keeps your mind, body, and spirit in alignment so you can create healthy boundaries and stay connected to your body. Plus we learned why stress contributes to a depressed immune system and can lead to a host of autoimmune diseases and even cancer.

Holiday Eating

The Emotional Power of Food: A Walk Down Memory Lane and Through the Holiday Season

The nose knows . . . and remembers longer than most other senses. Especially around the Holiday Season, “good and bad” are recalled by something as simple as strolling past a bakery and experiencing the aroma of fresh cinnamon buns, the smell of cabbage cooking that reminds you of old socks, or fresh cranberry sauce simmering on the stove.

Food affects brain and body chemistry as well as emotions. Your attitude may be affected, and your body will react correspondingly. Things forbidden and things relished can be triggered simply by the smell (or sight) of certain foods, and your brain recalls how you felt or responded to them even when you were only 3 years old! This month, Ricki McKenna shared how to “outgrow” some of those old habits and associations as a new zest for life and healthy food emerges.

Holiday Stress

Dr. Nancy White
Don't Let Holiday Stress Steal Your Joy!
Emotions run high during the holidays. There are feelings of love, happiness, and joy, but for some there can be sadness, stress, anxiety, disappointment, and depression. Stress takes on a different character than other times of the year, and while women are particularly vulnerable to increased stress, both men and women alike feel a duty to make the holidays the best they can for their families.

Let's face it, the pressures of work do not go away during this time of year. Traffic and long lines are at the height of frustration. And there are all those 'tasks' to complete: preparing meals, decorating the home, parties, and shopping for gifts. Do you worry about how you'll find time to get it all done? Or about how you'll finance the better-than-last-year holiday? With our schedules maxed, we might find it harder to relax and are more likely fall into bad habits to manager our stress, like comfort eating.

In this month's meeting, Dr. Nancy White, Clinical Counselor at Unique Mindcare, helped us learn how to keep our attention and focus on the joy of the season, creating balance and minimizing the stress of the holidays!
