Holiday stress has become so rampant that it has become increasingly hard to associate this time of the year with heart-warming traditions like caroling and nutmeg.
Thankfully, there are a few things you can control by planning ahead.
* On a tight budget? Opt for a gift exchange or do some online research on how to create unique, yet inexpensive homemade gifts.
* Do holiday crowds at the mall make you cringe? Shop online. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time, or you’ll be stressed your packages won’t make it on time!
* Worried you’re going to pack on the pounds? Schedule realistic times to exercise and stick with your plan. Physical activity is one of the best ways to reduce holiday stress. Even a short brisk walk will do wonders.
* Overwhelmed with a never-ending ‘to do’ list? Don’t overextend yourself and ask for help from family and friends if you need to.
