Holding Stillness Before the Holidays

As we move into the final days before the holidays, everything can start to feel louder—full calendars, heightened emotions, and the subtle pressure to do more, be more, show up perfectly. This is your reminder that peace doesn’t come once everything is done. It’s something you can choose now, even in the middle of the busyness.

Stillness doesn’t require hours or isolation. It lives in small, intentional moments: a few steady breaths before the day begins, softening your shoulders when you notice tension, choosing nourishment over urgency. Gentle, mindful movement helps regulate your nervous system and creates space to respond rather than react—especially when routines are off, and energy is stretched thin.

This week, let movement be your anchor and your reset. A few minutes set aside for movement can clear mental noise, ground your body, and help you show up more present for yourself and for others. Check out our YouTube channel for quick, bite-size movement snacks you can do anywhere—no mat or studio required!

And finally, give yourself permission to do less—and feel more. Presence is the most generous thing you can offer, to yourself and to those around you. We’re honored to hold space for you this season and wish you a week filled with ease, clarity, and moments of true stillness.

Cheers,
Indigo Movement Team
