What do you do to stay sress free around the holidays?
1.) Stop watching the news.
2.) Do as much ahead of time as possible.
3.) plan out your shopping...don't waste time/energy in traffic, or stores.
4.) Smile...even if you don't feel like it. It really is contagious.
5.) Open doors or help strangers if they are struggling. It feels good to be helpful. (Safety is key here...don't be stupid to your own safety)
6.) Don't drink too much. If you are bummed out it doesn't help, it actually makes things worse.
7.) Don't fret over the calories in your favorite foods...needless worry! Burn em off on a walk, or go shovel!
8.) Call someone you've been meaning to.
9.) If someone makes you stress, avoid that person.
10.) Go catch some snowflakes and REALLY look at them.
11.) STay away from the flakes with two legs.
12.) Play with the kids in the snow. ( best if everyone goes to the bathroom before you go outside!) hehehe.
What about you? What helps you get through the holidays....?
