Hit the Brakes On Holiday Stress

Holiday stressors come in all shapes and sizes. Some examples include family members who put you on edge, too much to do in too little time and worrying about over eating and gaining weight. To handle your holiday stressors ask yourself what makes you feel the most pressure or the most irritable. Then think about what choices you have and how you can make the stress more manageable. Consider declining the invitation to the holiday gathering you no longer enjoy. Consider not baking all those cookies you used to make. It’s always best to be prepared. Don’t procrastinate, get your holiday shopping started early and be sure to get plenty of rest and hopefully you be able to enjoy your time with family and friends this holiday season.
