Wellness Wednesday: The “It’s Almost Christmas” Nervous System Reset

1) The 10-Minute “Unclench Your Whole Life” Reset

Set a timer for 10 minutes. That’s it.

Sit down. Both feet on the floor.
Unclench your jaw (yes, right now).
Drop your shoulders.
Take 5 slow breaths—longer exhale than inhale.

Your nervous system doesn’t need a 2-hour spa day. It needs a signal that you’re safe.

2) Choose Your “Non-Negotiable” (Just One)

Not ten. Not a whole new routine. One.

Pick one thing you will protect today:

a short walk
a hot shower
protein + water
20 minutes of quiet
early bedtime
a “no extra commitments” boundary

The holiday season gets easier when you stop negotiating with your basic needs.

3) The “Good Enough” Gift Rule

Here’s the truth nobody prints on wrapping paper:

People remember how you made them feel…..not if the bow was symmetrical. (FYI….Ours are never symmetrical and are barely hanging on…..that is if you even get a bow on your gift!)

If you’re stuck in perfection mode, repeat after me:

“Done is a love language.”
“Good enough is still generous.”
“My worth is not measured in gift bags.”

4) Micro-Joy Counts (Even If It’s Ridiculous)

Do one small thing that makes you feel like a human:

play one song that fixes your mood
eat something warm
stand outside for 60 seconds
light a candle
watch a funny reel
text one person “I’m proud of you”

Tiny joy is still joy. And it adds up.

5) If You Use Hemp: Use It Like a Tool, Not a Rescue Helicopter 🌿

If you’re part of the Jamily and hemp is in your toolkit, this is your reminder:
The goal isn’t to escape the holidays. It’s to stay present inside them.

A mindful approach looks like:

Start low, go slow
Pair it with hydration + food
Use it alongside calming habits (breathing, stretching, quiet time)
Choose what fits the moment:
- something lighter for social settings
- something more calming for decompressing
- something edible-based when you want a longer, smoother ride

No hero dosing. No “fix my life in one bite.” Just support.

Your Wellness Wednesday Challenge (Holiday Edition)

Before the day ends, do these three things:

✅ Drink one full glass of water
✅ Take 10 slow breaths
✅ Cancel one unnecessary pressure you put on yourself

That last one is the real medicine.

Final Reminder, From Us to You 💛

If you’re carrying the holidays on your back like a festive pack mule…..pause.
You’re allowed to rest.
You’re allowed to set boundaries.
You’re allowed to be a person first and a holiday machine second.

We’re cheering for you this week. And if all you accomplish today is keeping your peace intact?

That’s a win.
