Its that time of year...Christmas trees, holiday parties and...stress! There are some things that you can do however to reduce the headaches that sometimes come along with the season.1. Take some time every day for yourself. Go to the gym and workout, do some cardio or go for a long walk.
2. Try to eat as normally as possible. When you go to a party, only eat small portions of the foods you rarely eat.
3. Plan menus for holiday meals and parties weeks in advance. Write down all of your menus, print out recipes and construct shopping lists and buy nonperishable items to have on hand so you don't have to rush last minute.
4. Try to consolidate Christmas shopping for gifts into one day and just a couple of stores or buy online and have the gifts shipped directly to the recipient. Picking a theme for gift giving helps too. You can buy multiple presents at one time.
5. Say "no." It is OK not to accept every invitation you receive during the holiday season. Also, if someone asks you to do something you don't want to do, let them know. You can't be everywhere at one time!
