“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:
- Expect things to go wrong.
- Let others help.
- Take time for yourself.
- 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.
