Your Life is the Medicine with Dr. Sonny Miles

Holiday Harmony: Embodiment and Stress Relief for the Busy Season

Dr. Sonny Miles

The holiday season often replaces joy with obligation, speeding up our pace when nature demands we slow down. In this essential episode of "Your Life Is The Medicine," Dr. Sonny, a physician of integrative medicine, offers a vital guide on how to stay anchored and true to yourself amidst seasonal pressures. She explores the necessity of embodiment, teaching listeners how to listen to their body's real-time wisdom—identifying sensations that signal boundaries are being crossed or that an activity is depleting their energy.

Listeners will learn practical strategies for mindful living and maintaining emotional well-being during this busy time. Dr. Sonny emphasizes being honest about whether a "yes" comes from genuine joy or mere obligation, and provides tools for setting boundaries around time and energy, even if that means shortening participation in family traditions. Crucially, the episode addresses the need for seasonal alignment, advocating for balancing the external holiday demands with the yin energy of rest and internal reflection that our bodies require in the darker months.

Dr. Sonny stresses the importance of prioritizing routines—like sleep, movement, and healthy food—as anchors to prevent complete disconnection when the world asks more of you. You will also learn intentional methods for preparing for and recovering from challenging social situations, ensuring that you nourish yourself instead of becoming depleted. Tune in and subscribe to "Your Life Is The Medicine" to navigate the holidays with self-compassion, presence, and the holistic healing that allows you to truly embody the season's magic.
