Short naps aren’t a luxury—they’re a simple, science-backed way to boost focus, reduce stress, and reset your mind. Even 10–20 minutes can restore clarity, improve creativity, and support emotional balance. No time for a nap? Try 5 minutes of meditation. Take a “horizontal life pause” and prevent burnout before it starts.

This Thanksgiving, slow living offers a grounded way to move through the holiday with less pressure and more presence. Simple mindful practices can help you enjoy the meal fully, reduce stress, and stay connected to what truly matters. These habits create a calmer, more nourishing experience — not just on Thanksgiving, but throughout the entire holiday season.
