Trying to calm the stress in your own body (or for your kids)?

Oxytocin is a powerful calmer that can press pause on your body's fight-flight-freeze response. Some easy ways to trigger oxytocin are:

👉Physical touch with a loved one (or pet!)
👉Listening to music you love
👉Physical activities like exercise, dancing, or yoga
👉Getting out in the sun for some vitamin D
👉Trying something new (like a new hobby, class, or experience)

The holidays are stressful, and the cascade effects of stress on your body can be long-lasting. So if you have time to press pause today, try one of these activities to signal to your brain and body that you're safe and at peace!
