The holidays, especially Thanksgiving, are filled with gratitude and self-reflection. However you celebrate, take it as an opportunity to reflect on and recenter yourself in what you feel most grateful for. Be easy on yourself—no matter what kind of year you’ve had, make space for yourself to feel everything. Here are some tips for grounding yourself this holiday season:

Take Deep Breaths: There’s power in a good breathing routine. Close your eyes and take a moment to just be—or try a guided meditation. 

Write it Down: Letting your mind run can feel overwhelming, but putting pen to paper helps organize and categorize your thoughts, while reaffirming what’s most important to you.

Relish in Comfort: Whether it’s being around family, having some much-needed alone time, or taking time to pick old hobbies back up—lean into what makes you comfortable, especially during this colder, slower period.

With that—happy holidays from team Crown Affair! Wishing you a relaxing, joyful end of the year, and a gentle reminder to take some time for yourself. We’re so grateful to have you.
