My name is Diana Garcia and I\u2019m a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and founder of a private practice called Nurturing Minds Counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been doing 12 tips for the holiday season. These are tips you can use regardless of whether you celebrate, what you celebrate, or if you don&#8217;t celebrate. Today we are on tip number seven. I encourage you to check out videos 1-6, or blogs 1-6, to check out those tips first.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents-block-table-of-contents-block\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-toc-qznmdqd \"><div class=\"eb-toc-qznmdqd eb-toc-container eb-toc-not-collapsible eb-toc-initially-not-collapsed eb-toc-is-not-sticky eb-toc-not-scrollToTop    \" data-scroll-top=\"false\" data-collapsible=\"false\" data-hide-mobile=\"false\" data-sticky=\"false\" data-scroll-target=\"scroll_to_toc\"><div class=\"eb-toc-header\"><div class=\"eb-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/div><\/div><div class=\"eb-toc-wrapper   \" data-headers=\"[{&quot;level&quot;:2,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;Watch Video: \\&quot;12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7: Self-Care\\&quot;&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Watch Video: \\&quot;12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7: Self-Care\\&quot;&quot;,&quot;link&quot;:&quot;watch-video-12-days-of-tips-for-the-holidays-day-7-self-care&quot;},{&quot;level&quot;:2,&quot;content&quot;:&quot;Read Blog: \\&quot;12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7\\&quot;&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Read Blog: \\&quot;12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7\\&quot;&quot;,&quot;link&quot;:&quot;read-blog-12-days-of-tips-for-the-holidays-day-7&quot;}]\" data-visible=\"[true,true,true,true,true,true]\" data-smooth=\"true\" data-top-offset=\"\"><div class=\"eb-toc__list-wrap\"><ul class=\"eb-toc__list\"><li style=\"padding-bottom:10px\"><a href=\"#watch-video-12-days-of-tips-for-the-holidays-day-7-self-care\">Watch Video: &#8220;12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7: Self-Care&#8221;<\/a><\/li><li style=\"padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px\"><a href=\"#read-blog-12-days-of-tips-for-the-holidays-day-7\">Read Blog: &#8220;12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7&#8221;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch Video: &#8220;12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7: Self-Care&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7: Self-Care\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IrG50GTUNiY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read Blog: &#8220;12 Days of Tips for the Holidays: Day 7&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today&#8217;s tip might feel a little repetitive, but it\u2019s the importance of self-care. I know when we say self-care, myself included, I\u2019m like \u2018something else I have to do on my list of never-ending things to do.\u2019 Honestly, it&#8217;s really important! Self-care sometimes feels like it&#8217;s this big and major thing, you have to go get a massage, you have to go to a retreat, or you must be doing things like having a green smoothie. However, self-care it&#8217;s very individualized, so what can look like self-care for me can be different for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-care can be sometimes simply sitting in front of the television and just watching something fun and brainless. My go-to for self-care tends to be hanging out with friends. Self-care can be going for a walk or hitting an intense gym session. Self-care is identifying those things that are going to help you recharge. When it comes to the holiday season, I know it&#8217;s really easy to forget about recharging and all your routines go out the window because there&#8217;s more things to do, holiday gatherings to attend, or virtual gatherings to be in. Whatever the case, what you typically do to take care of yourself goes out the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I encourage you to do is list one or two small things that you can keep doing through the season. Whether that&#8217;s practicing three minutes of breathing, making sure the dog goes out for a longer walk because it helps you both, or building 20 minutes of just watching television. Self-care can also be limiting things like limiting the endless scroll of social media. Identify one or two things that you can commit to doing for your own well-being to keep yourself going during this holiday season. I know it&#8217;s tempting to forget about all that during the holidays, but it&#8217;s really important so that you don&#8217;t get too overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there&#8217;s a day that you miss out on doing that, that&#8217;s okay! Self-care is not about perfection. You can just pick it up again the next day! I encourage you to let me know what those one or two self-care tips that you&#8217;re willing to do for yourself and remember that it&#8217;s okay to put yourself first &#8211; that&#8217;s allowed. Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a great day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
