Holiday Stress? Take Care of You!
The holidays usually provoke pleasant feelings and happy times. Unfortunately, they can often also be a major source of stress. It is very easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of shopping, decorating, baking, parties, and visiting with family and friends. There is so much going on around us and so many obligations we feel we need to fulfill. How do you keep your head above water in all this commotion?
First of all, there is no one solution, nor does the same thing work for everyone. Start by taking a deep breath. The important lesson here is to pace yourself, and to make sure you are taking care of yourself along the way. Too often we find ourselves getting run down or sick at this time of the year. Then, when we are down, how do we enjoy the holidays?
Some tips to help you have a happy holiday season:
• Get plenty of sleep.
• Eat healthy meals (while at parties, eat smaller portions).
• Get as much exercise as you can.
• Say "no" once in a while. You do not have to be all things to all people.
• Avoid excessive alcohol.
• Spend time with fun people.
• Borrow some holiday cheer and spread it around.
• Laugh often.
Following these tips is sure to enhance your holiday spirit, and lessen your stress. Lighten up and enjoy yourself this holiday season. You deserve it!
