Does just the thought of the holidays make you tense? Here are tips to help you create and enjoy your holiday celebrations:
- Unclutter your schedule by planning ahead and learning to say "no."
- Identify a few special traditions that were part of your childhood: decorating the tree, baking cookies, lighting the menorah or singing carols for the neighbors.
- Set realistic expectations. Accept people and things for the way they are and remember the positive qualities that make them unique.
- Give to others and it will create joy for you.
- Keep a sense of balance and moderation by taking a break in the middle of holiday shopping, limiting your caffeine and alcohol consumption, getting 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night, sticking to a moderate exercise routine and reserving some quiet time for yourself.
