Holiday Blues...


Are the holidays turning you into the Grinch??

 
 
The holiday season is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year! Why then are many of us feeling the holiday blues?  Try some of these strategies to help you from feeling like scrooge this holiday season...
 
  • Practice gratitude often!  Studies show that making a list of the things that you are grateful for and sharing them with others can enhance your sense of wellbeing and make you happier! 
      
  • Stick to your regular routine.  Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, exercising regularly, and trying not to eat or drink too much this season will help you manage the stress that you may be feeling.      ll
 
  • Set reasonable expectations.  Try not putting so much added pressure on yourself and use some of the awesome holiday idea resources that are out there for ideas. One of our favorite resources for ideas is Pinterest!  Pinterest can really help reduce your planning time and help you to think outside of the box for creative and unique ideas that everyone will love!
     
  • Start new traditions.  Keep your favorite activities that remind your family of the holidays past but create some new traditions this year to help you shake it up!
