Self care during the holidays

This time of year can get very hectic and overwhelming. The holidays, end of year appointments, weather changes and every day life.
How do you take time for yourself and make sure your not over doing it?

Relax and make tamales by myself
Oh yum! I do like to bake cookies and make Puerto Rican eggnog this time of year.

I'm so jealous of everybody that can cook. I'm useless in the kitchen. Though I am enjoying eating other people's christmas baking this year ;)

One of the things I try to do is schedule time for myself in the mornings. First thing when I wake up I make space to have some alone time journaling, reading, doing some breathwork. Even if I'm running to an appointment first thing in the morning or in the hospital taking a few deep breaths is something I can always do to center and ground myself.
I make sure that I still take time to exercise in one way or another, even with all the busyness of the holidays exercise is my happy place and I want to make sure I continue to make time for it.
I recently started journaling and I'm really enjoying it.
Exercise is a great way to self-care. I love going for walks around my neighborhood or doing some yoga.
