December is here, and while it might be the most wonderful time of the year, stress and the holiday season sometimes go hand in hand. This is a busy time – you’re wrapping up work, school, and not to mention presents! Stress, unfortunately, is an unavoidable part of our lives. When we are feeling stressed, our hearts work harder and digestion slows down. Nearly every process in the body is negatively affected. Research has even shown that up to 80% of disease is stress related. So how can you escape the holiday headaches and keep yourself focused on the Christmas cheer and magic of the season?
Take 10-15 minutes a day for yourself with a morning soak in your Beachcomber Hot Tub!
Hot Tub Hydrotherapy: The Science
It’s scientifically proven that hydrotherapy can balance our nervous system and encourage the release of endorphins. The endorphins released help trigger feelings of pleasure that can keep you feeling good all day. This can positively impact our physical and mental state - loosening tight, stress-filled muscles, and calming racing minds.
Imagine easing into the warm water of your Beachcomber and feeling your stress melt away. Your body shifts into a more relaxed state, helping you switch from ‘go mode’ to feeling more grounded.
What’s more, your body will begin to release more feel-good chemicals. This helps to boost your mood and create a post soak sense of relaxation and ease, making even the shortest soaks feel like a complete reset.
Make sure to turn on your favourite hot tub massage jets to work alongside the hot water in loosening up your tight muscles. When your body and mind are relaxed, it makes managing stress and getting enough sleep much easier. Enjoy these benefits throughout the stressful December holiday season.
Boosting Your Soak: Hot Tub Exercise and Mediation
Take your soak to the next level by pairing it with a hot tub meditation session. This will help you reach a level of tranquillity you rarely see over the holiday season. Deep breathing is known to settle your mind and help you process thoughts more efficiently.
Staying active is also highly important. For many people, the additional pressure we feel around this time of the year can lower activity levels, which can increase stress levels in the body. Consider using your time in your hot tub to get some water-based activities in. Working out in water is beneficial to everyone, especially those with joint or muscle pain, or people who are looking for low-impact workouts.
Hot Tub Gatherings
Socializing is a great way to remove stress in your life. Consider organizing a relaxing, stress-free night for family and friends in your hot tub. Enjoying your Beachcomber with those you love is a year round activity, and the season of giving should be no different!
Everyone we know feels stress throughout the holidays, so adding an evening in the hot tub to everyone’s to-do list will be a gift that keeps on giving. Whether it’s a festive evening of decorating your house or a night of endless stores ticking off your lists, ending the evening with a soak in a beachcomber hot tub is the perfect way to bring everyone together during the Christmas season.
Tips for Stress-Free Hot Tub Soaks
Don’t let your hot tub add any unnecessary worry to your busy holiday season. Beachcomber has all the essentials for a carefree soak – from water care to accessories.
Water care:
Maintaining your hot tub water is essential for a comfortable soak. With increased use, this becomes even more important. The great thing is that Beachcomber has options for regular water care top ups to a complete drain and fill of your spa. You can choose between chlorine or bromine. There are kits to help you care for your filter. You can also get testing strips to keep track of your levels. Get your hot tub ready for guests this festive month. Use these water care tips and the Microfilter Kit. This will help keep your hot tub water clear.
Accessories:
Your hot tub enjoyment increases with the right accessories. From safety to fun, Beachcomber has it all. Add LEEP™ steps for easy access, a floating speaker for music and entertainment, or robes and towels for comfort before and after your soak.
It’s easy to let material things distract you from the true meaning of Christmas. Find activities that allow for regular stress relief and family bonding time throughout the holidays. This helps to remind friends and family of the cheer that the Christmas season can bring. A Beachcomber Hot Tub is the perfect location for this. The many benefits of a hot tub create the ideal space to promote relaxation and provide many health benefits. Don't let the hectic days of the festive period get you down and soak away your stress.
