1. Forgive! – If you have ongoing arguments or resentments with family or friends-let go! And, enjoy the holidays!
2. Help Out! – Get the attention off yourself, then make time for those less fortunate… it will remind you what is truly important.
3. Don’t Get Caught Up! – Shopping, parking, running around can add stress for anyone during the holidays. Spending time with people you love instead of trying to find a perfect gift.
4. Let Go Of The “Perfect” Holiday – Trying to have the perfect holiday event can add a lot of extra stress. Focus your energy on the people and priorities that are what the holidays are meant for. Not everything can go according to your perfect plan-relax!
5. Be Thankful For What You Got – Don’t focus on your blessings you don’t have. Literally make a list through the holiday season of what you are thankful for…and you’ll be surprised!
6. It’s About Loved Ones Not Gifts – To save stress shift from finding the best gift for someone to spending quality time with people instead.
7. Remember What You’re Celebrating – If your religious or not, just remember the important things in life, the reason for the season.
