Holiday Stress

The holidays are just around the corner and with them brings a multitude of stresses. Wether it’s family strain, not enough time, lack of money or just the general sense of feeling overwhelmed, the holidays can do a number on us and leave us feeling not so jolly. Here are some tips from IoTM to help prevent holiday stress and depression:

1. Stick to a budget- Decide how much you can spend on food and gifts and stick to that budget.
2. Plan ahead- Figure out specific days for shopping, baking and visiting friends and family. Plan menus and make shopping lists.
3. Be realistic- You can be everything to everyone and everything doesn’t have to be perfect.
4. Don’t abandon healthy habits- Don’t let the holidays become a free-for-all. Continue to eat healthy snacks, get plenty of sleep and work out.
5. Take a breather- Spending just 15 minutes by yourself may refresh you enough to handle   everything you need to do. GO GET A MASSAGE!!
