The holidays can be a very stressful time for most of us. It has the chaos of holiday gift shops, paired with the nostalgia that the holidays bring and the fact that it’s pitch dark outside by 4 o’clock. It’s normal to feel a bit claustrophobic during the holidays with little to no time to practice self-care. Now, we’ve shared our best self-care subscription boxes in the past. Now, it’s time to really focus on our mental health and spend at least a few minutes a week on caring for the most valuable muscle in our bodies – our mind.
