"The holidays can be a source of stress due to packed schedules, financial strain or the pressure to meet expectations. Take some time before the holiday season is truly upon us and form some anxiety-reducing habits to manage your stress levels and make your holidays more enjoyable. Here are a few ways to reduce stress this holiday season. Set Realistic Expectations: Remember that perfection is not the goal. Focus on meaningful experiences rather than perfect decorations or elaborate meals."
"Schedule Downtime: Block out time to rest and recharge. Whether it's reading, meditating or watching your favorite holiday movie, prioritize self-care. Practice Gratitude: Reflecting on what you're grateful for can shift your focus away from stress and toward the positive aspects of the season. Saying No: It can be so easy to just say yes to every holiday party and activity but sometimes attending every activity isn't feasible. Overpacking your schedule can lead to burnout and exhaustion."
