10 Tips for Managing Your Holiday Stress

“This time of year, there’s a lot of cultural pressure to feel happy, joyous and grateful. But in reality, a lot of people experience more stress and anxiety than holiday bliss. Sources of holiday stress include pressure to shop, cook, entertain, organize family gatherings and then, after the party’s over, pay off the bills.” Suzanne Gerber of Next Avenue consulted several experts on stress and came up with 10 suggestions to help ‘keep your holiday cool’.

My four favorite tips were:

1. Expect things to go wrong.
2. Let others help.
3. Take time for yourself.
4. Don’t try to resolve family conflicts.

Good advice. You can find the entire article on Next Avenue 'where grownups keep growing'.

I hope that you find joy in the holiday season and that the New Year brings you health, renewed engagement with life, and satisfying relationships with friends and family.
