Tai chi helps reduce stress and anxiety. And it also helps increase flexibility and balance.f you're looking for a way to reduce stress, consider tai chi (TIE-CHEE). Originally developed for self-defense, tai chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that's now used for stress reduction and a variety of other health conditions. Often described as meditation in motion, tai chi promotes serenity through gentle, flowing movements.
The holidays can be the most wonderful time of the year, but not all the time and not for everyone. Sometimes there is so much cooking, cleaning and hosting to do that we don’t have any fun. Other times, our different family members are at each others’ throats. For many families, it may be the only time of year everyone is together and sometimes we use it for praise and other times it’s an endless time of criticism. Here are a few tips (including Tai Chi!) for reduced holiday stress and anxiety.
