Top 5 Holiday Survival Strategies
It’s one week before Christmas and you have more in your “sleigh” than you can handle.
This is not the time to tip over the red sleigh and stress yourself to the max.
Instead, you need to think about your “Survival Stress Techniques.”
How To Survive The Holiday Stress
1. Discover the “art of delegating” the holiday chores. Assign different tasks to family members.
Make this holiday a “family affair” by having
- one person wrap gifts,
- another to address cards,
- another person to make cookies,
- another one to decorate, etc.
2. Don’t expect perfection. Murphy’s Law is always lurking around the corner, so prepare as much as you can a week before the holiday, and then relax and enjoy yourself.
3. Eat healthy to maintain your weight during the holidays. Eat foods that give you energy and boost your immune system.
Prepare and freeze holiday food ahead of time so you’re not nibbling.
3. Get plenty rest. Be good to yourself with a warm bath, scented candles and a comfy bed to snuggle into at night.
4. Be polite. Be patient with difficult people and “smile” Smiling reduces stress.
5. Diffuse difficult relationships by sending encouraging cards or giving a friendly call before a Holiday “Open House.”
