10 Tips for Stress Free Holiday Season

Read the story of how I developed these 10 Tips for a Stress Free Holiday season in my article From Grinch to Guru published on The Huffington Post....

1. Eat a Balanced Breakfast every day during the busy holiday season to manage your appetite and keep your energy up.
2. Sleep Enough each night so you'll be sure to make good decisions about what you're eating and how you're spending your time & money this month.
3. Put Your Well-being First by making self-care a priority. Make time every day to relax and rejuvenate so you look and feel your best.
4. Say No to commitments, events (and foods) that don't nourish you or enrich your life.
5. Go With the Flow when things don't turn out how you expect. Don't let hassles become a roadblock.
   
6. Cherish the Moment. Remember when you were a child and delighted in small and unexpected magical moments?
7. Smile Freely at everyone you encounter. Never underestimate the power you have to change a situation with friendliness.
8. Take a Break. There are only so many hours in the day so put non-essentials on hold while you ramp up for the festivities.
9. Ask for Help when you need it. And return the favor when you can. That's what friends and family are for.
   
10. Indulge a little. The holidays only come once a year, so give yourself permission to be joyful!
