What is the best way to avoid much family stress at the holidays?
The holidays are in full swing, if the crazed mall parking lots are any indication, and it may seem impossible to catch a breath, much less relax this holiday season. But, dealing with your stress is essential if you want to get any sort of enjoyment out of the holidays. It’s also essential for maintaining your health, your weight and your sanity. These quick tips offer some ideas for avoiding too much stress this holiday season. 1. Hit the Gym for Your Workouts It’s tempting to take the gym off your to-do list, but getting in some exercise is one of the best ways to burn off tension, get time to yourself, and boost your energy and mood. This is also a great time of year to go to the gym because it’s less crowded — things will be nice and quiet before the January crush. Plan a few simple workouts on your favorite machines, and give yourself some extra time to lounge in the hot tub or steam room. You’ll be glad you did. Sources:
