From the gathering with friends and family to find just the right gift or enjoying the city deco and lights, there is plenty to put a smile on your face during this time of the year, and then there is the other side of the holidays cleaning, cooking trying to perfect that recipe that you just cook on Christmas and making sure you send Christmas cards to an ever-expanding list.
The list goes on sometimes it can be hard to remember that this is the season to celebrate joy and gratitude and spending time with the loved ones.
When people get busy and stressed out, they can forget about what is the most important in life.
There is a lot of expectations on how people should act and how things should be when these exceptions are not met, it can make the holidays very hard.
While the holiday season is mostly about giving, HEY HEY - it's crucial to take care of your self.
MEDITATE FOR A MINUTE
Even a short meditation will help you to feel more present, grounded and take a break from stress.
AVOID A FAMILY BLOWOUT
Is so many topics these days that can make a family conversation positive or negative, if you spot an argument, make an observation without labeling them as good or bad be open to taking a break versus having the last word.
GO FOR A STROLL
You don't have to hit the gym for an all-out sweet session to get stress releasing benefit of exercise . just going for a walk can help even if is just for a few minutes
And finally, STOP A MELTDOWN
Searching for gifts can induce HIGH blood pressure all by itself, the crowds the language barrier won't help either. Making a list and having a budget will help you focus on what you see and what you can get.
