9 STEPS TO REDUCE STRESS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Through the endless parties, cooking, shopping and cleaning, try taking one of these 9 steps to ensure you have a stress-free holiday:
1. Plan Ahead
Between co-workers, friends and family, it’s inevitable that some commitments will end up on the same day. If you’re hosting the holidays, create a menu to help you stay organized and make grocery shopping easier.
2. Say No
With holiday commitments, it is OK to say no to a few or all of them.
3. Plan Spending
The holidays mean spending money. Make a budget and stick to it. Spending money on your loved ones is important, but it’s also important to pay your energy bill. Don’t buy gifts that you’ll be paying off for the rest of the year.
4. Create Relaxing Surroundings
Turn on some music, light some candles or open the windows. Research has found that listening to music and the scent of citrus can boost feelings of well-being, and vitamin D is always a happiness booster.
5. Maintain Healthy Habits
The holidays are notorious for ruining healthy habits. A short workout each morning will help your decision-making throughout the day. Eat healthy snacks like fresh fruit or vegetables throughout the season. Fill up on these types of snacks before a dinner party or celebration where you might only find tempting, but unhealthy, foods.
6. Share Feelings
Spending a holiday after a loss in the family can be difficult. Accept your feelings and open up about them to others. It may make you feel better to share. Try to switch up old traditions to ease the loss.
7. Respect Differences
Family members will have different viewpoints than your own. Try your best to forgive and forget this holiday season. Focus on your similarities, and replace tension with something productive.
8. Be Realistic
You are only one person, and you can only do so much. Be realistic with how much you can handle this season. Forget about perfection, and relax and enjoy the company surrounding you.
9. Take a Break
Don’t forget about your own needs. Take a nap, go for a short walk, read a book or watch a funny movie. Laughing relaxes the whole body, and can relieve physical tension and stress.
Holidays are meant to be a fun, enjoyable time with friends and family. These tips can help ensure you truly enjoy your holidays when stress starts to set in.
