Happy November 1st! Not only does the new month mean chillier weather, but that the countdown to the biggest holidays of the year has begun. While the holidays are wonderful for many reasons, there is no doubt that they can be stressful, too. With dozens of things to do, guilt about holidays treats, pressure to find the perfect gift, and hosting duties galore, here are some ways that you can prepare for the stress and pressure of the holiday season–
Don’t Say “No” Too Soon
One thing that people often do to brace themselves for the holidays is to set certain rules in place way in advance. For example, “There is no way I’m hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year,” or “This year I’m going to be good and not have a single gingerbread cookie.” Unfortunately, while these statements may have good intent, the problem with saying no is that we create limits that we aren’t always able to keep. The best idea is to be open to going with the flow during the holidays, and remember that everything is better in a little moderation.
Set Some Time Away for Yourself
From now until the new year, pick an hour one day a week that you can have some time just for you, and commit to keeping this appointment with yourself! You can use the hour to read, exercise, take a nap, or do anything you want. We recommend five-minute meditation as a great way to stay sane and connect with yourself during the holidays, too.
Stop Procrastinating
Procrastination is what’s behind a lot of stress over the holidays. If you know you’re going to have a lot to do, don’t wait until the last minute to do it! In fact, you can put a schedule in place now that sets aside a couple hours a week to get everything done.
