PowerLiving with Kimberlee Langford

Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders can be more than just a metaphor when stress begins to take its toll. In our latest episode, join me and the SCM RN coaches as we unravel the tapestry of relaxation and stress relief, sharing the personal anchors that help us deal with the stresses that naturally occur - as well as during the holidays.
Through the power of guided imagery, I invite you to join me on a mental escape to nature's calm embrace, offering respite from the daily grind.
We also bask in the warmth of the holiday spirit, reminiscing about the cherished traditions and heartfelt connections that light up our family gatherings, infusing our lives with joy and a touch of cultural richness.
Don't forget the power of exercise! Stephanie will take you through some of the benefits of a good stretch and learning to practice progressive relaxation so that you can harness the power of relaxation in moments where you need it most. - Awareness is key here.
With the year winding down, it's the perfect time to reflect on the small cues that signal our need for a breather, like the tension that creeps into our shoulders, whispering for attention. This episode is a treasure trove of relaxation strategies, from the gentle progression of muscle relaxation to the rhythmic dance of breathing exercises, and the grounding presence of loved ones. Drawing from the wisdom of our team of nurses and my own journey in professional coaching, we arm you with practical techniques to sidestep stress and invite tranquility into your life.
As we wrap up, let me extend a heartfelt wish for your festive season and the year ahead to be brimming with serenity, happiness, and health. Happy holidays, and let's commit to gifting ourselves moments of calm—it's a present that keeps on giving.
