This month is all about celebrations! Not only will we be
celebrating holidays such as Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year’s Eve,
but we will also celebrate the little things that make life worthwhile. Little
things such as the reassuring touch of a friend’s hand, a kind word from an
acquaintance and a warm smile from a stranger.
In our all too busy lives we sometimes forget to honor the
simple things in life that bring us peace and joy. Most experts recommend that
we allow 10-20 minutes of relaxation and stress relief each day. Making time
for that can even be a stressful experience! During this busy month of baking,
shopping, visitors and juggling tasks take time to remember what is really
important.
Here are some tips to keep holiday stress in check:
Acknowledge your feelings – you are not alone as holiday stress is not
uncommon. Be realistic with expectations – you can only do so much, learn to
say no. Ask for help when needed – everyone wants to be needed and may feel
more included by being able to contribute. Plan ahead to minimize unplanned
expenses and tasks. Take a breather – take a walk at night and do some
stargazing, listen to soothing music, or get a massage. Above all enjoy all the
holidays have to offer by sharing time with others.
Join us during the busy month of December for our annual
cookie exchange and holiday celebrations. Take time to Celebrate Little Things
with those you love.
