Hi Everyone,

Since the holidays are upon us, I just wanted to check in to see how you’re handling the holiday stress. While the season is special with each families unique traditions and ways of celebrating, for many it creates additional stress, anxiety and overwhelm. How can you make it less stressful? How can you enjoy it more?

So often we do things the same way year after year because it’s familiar. It’s what we know, it’s what we’re comfortable with and it’s how we’ve done things in the past. Well, that doesn’t mean it’s the best way…for you!

If something you do each holiday season brings on additional stress (holiday shopping for example) how about finding a different solution to cut back on the amount of stress that brings? (maybe do more online shopping this year). Of course you can keep doing things the same way but if you’re not happy with the results then it’s up to you to change things.

I suggest you make a list of all the things about the holiday season that gives you additional stress. Then, choose your top two or three and find a new and better solution. As you commit to your new strategy you’ll be proud of your ability to change, while you reduce your stress…and enjoy yourself more.

I’d love to hear about something new you’ve tried to reduce your level of holiday stress. If it worked for you, it may just work for someone else!

Enjoy the day!

P.S. Stores are busy and great parking spots may be hard to find. It’s all about changing your perspective. Instead of being aggravated because you can’t find a close parking spot, how about enjoying the extra activity you’re able to get in by doing a little extra walking!
