Stress-less for Truly Happy Holidays!

Decreasing stress requires you to take time to prioritize what matters most to you during this season. Stop and take a look at your budget—assess where you are at, and make the necessary adjustments.  Keeping yourself on track with your budget is a top key in reducing stress.

Are you overcommitted?  Are you flurrying from one event to another?  Look at what is really possible for you to do and take off your plate what can be considered to you as nonessential.  Does it really matter if you do not bake those two dozen cookies?  We often overeat during the holidays anyway!  A green clean home, though important doesn’t mean your house has to look like you are “showing it” for a real estate sale!  Your health is important; doing too much can weaken your immune system. 

So, how can you relax and have a “Happy Holiday”?

FIND TIME FOR PERSONAL RELAXATION    

·         Take a walk

·         Take a hot bubble bath

·         Snuggle up in a blanket with the book you have wanted to read and never feel you’ve had the time to.

FIND TIME FOR FAMILY RELAXATION

With families on the run so much—why not slow down and create some family time at home?

·         Create a family meal together:  “build a taco or pizza” night

·         Card/board game night

·         Family PJ party with a rented movie, complete with blankets & sleeping bags in the family room

·         Tell stories around the dinner table.  One fun game that brings laughter around the table is to have one person start telling a story and the next family member continues the story, the story continues as each family member has a part in creating the story. 

·         Take a walk as a family through the neighborhood or to a park (unless you live in South Dakota and are experiencing -3 degree temperatures!)
