Understand And Manage Holiday Stress
Stress can take a toll on your health in many ways, and the holiday season can bring an abundance of stress! Here are some of the most common sources of holiday stress and effective ways to manage this stress. Holiday stress management is a gift you give yourself, but it's a gift to your loved ones as well, as they'll enjoy a happier, healthier, and more relaxed you.
| Minimize Holiday Perfectionism
It's tempting go all-out for the holidays in every sense of the word. However, if you go all-out, you're more prone to burn-out. Learn where to cut corners so you can truly savor the holiday traditions you hold most dear. Letting go of those aspects of the season that become overwhelming can free you up to enjoy what's left, and stay healthier without all the stress.
| Healthy Holiday Eating
From now until January 1st (when people will be hitting the gym en masse) there will be many tempting reasons to slip into poor eating habits. Learn about holiday stress-eating triggers as well as other factors that contribute to the 4-5 pounds that many people gain this time of year--and discover effective ways to stick to a healthy diet without feeling stressed or deprived as a result.
| Exercise When You're Busy
When we get busy, exercise often goes by the wayside. During the month of December (which is right around the corner), it becomes challenging to find time to exercise, and it may be tempting to put your workouts on hold until January. Don't! Exercise is an excellent stress relief tool and can keep you more relaxed as well as more healthy. Instead of abandoning workouts (or waiting until January to start), find creative ways to work around a busy schedule. Here's what you need to know.
