Holiday Stress


The holiday season is upon us and with that many individuals, especially women comes increased stress. In this health flash I'll offer some strategies to help reduce the "holiday" stress this season.
  • Tip 1: Don't let the holiday sneak up on you. Plan ahead for the extra work and delegate out whatever tasks you can. Stick to your regular routines as much as possible, especially sleep and exercise.
  • Tip 2: Remember to eat your regular meals. If the holiday season finds you with increased mood swings, feeling anxious or depressed, make sure your are eating properly. Low blood sugar can aggravate these symptoms. Remember to eat 6 smaller meals a day to keep your blood sugar levels even. Don't overindulge in with food or drink. Remember moderation is the key.
  • Tip 3: Take your nutritional supplements. Remember to continue with your nutritional supplements. If you are feeling especially stressed, an herbal supplement such as Kava can help.
  • Tip 4: If you are alone, plan ahead. Plan your own small celebrations and invite your friends and family. Don't wait for the invitation to come in the mail.
  • Tip 5: Don't expect perfection. Try to focus on the present and not the imperfections of the past. Try to keep conversations light and upbeat. If you have children try to keep them on a regular schedule and avoid "junk food" as much as possible.
  • Tip 6: Schedule some down time. Take time to relax, take a nap or a long hot bath. You don't have to be the life of the party every time.
