Highlight of the month: National Stress-Free Holiday Month

For many, the winter holidays can be the most stressful time of the year. The pressures to keep up with social occasions and make others happy can lead to physical and mental exhaustion. It is important to take care of yourself during the holiday season! Here are some simple ideas for cutting holiday stress:

Take a breather: Don’t forget about your own needs. Make some time for yourself by taking a nap, going for a short walk, reading a book or watching a funny movie. Laughing relaxes the whole body, and can relieve physical tension and stress.
Plan ahead: Procrastinating can lead to increased stress! Try making a list and sticking to it.
Create relaxing surroundings: Turn on some music, light some candles or open the windows on a sunny day. Research has found that listening to music and the scent of citrus can boost feelings of well-being, and vitamin D is always a happiness booster.
Learn to say no: Taking on too much can cause you to feel overwhelmed. Prioritize what brings you joy and simplify when you can.
