EP 1173 - Stress Free Holiday Preparation Week

Are The Holidays A Stressful Time In Your Household?

Are you ready for the holidays? This is the questions that you hear daily at the grocery store, the post office and in line at the bank? Some people ask because they want to feel like they are not the only ones struggling to get things done before the big day. Others ask because they are concerned about us as we may look a little haggard. Others may just want to gloat about they had in all done in July

Here are my hot tips for building your resiliency and avoiding that stressed-out feeling this holiday season while we Celebrate Stress Free Holiday Preparation Week:

The key to success in avoiding the ‘festive fizzle’ is to recognize those activities that energize, motivate, and please us, and to delete or change those activities that irritate, disappoint, and anger us.

Get back to basics and simplify to meet these priorities.

Stop often and be in the moment. Far too often the holidays come and go and we missed experiencing the joy, connection, and spirit of the season.
