The holiday season is my favorite time of year. I love the traditions and the spirit of gratitude and service that abounds from everyone. With all the good the holidays have to offer, there can be a downside. More Stress!
Forbes came up with some good tips to reduce stress during the holidays. They include:
- Stay debt free: avoid using credit cards to make purchases
- Don't over indulge: be aware of what you are eating and stick to your exercise routine. This will help you avoid feelings of guilt
- Be active: try to avoid sitting on the couch for hours watching football or holiday specials; go on walks, play board games, or just play outside!
- Plan ahead: don't let the holidays sneak up on you. Give yourself plenty of time to get things done so you are not running around last minute.
- Share responsibilities: enlist the help of others as you try to finish all of your holiday tasks. Don't think you have to do it all yourself.
- Stay calm while traveling: give yourself extra time to deal with longer lines and possible delays
- Time off: Plan ahead with work scheduling so you can get the time off wanted for holidays without worrying about your obligations at work
- Give: Gain perspective by sharing our abundance with others
