We are in the midst of the Holidays. What a joyful, exciting time… Preparation, shopping, wrapping gifts, preparing menus, amusing, attending parties, eating too much, drinking too much, etc. What a very tiring time…

We all know that the Holidays can be the most wonderful or the most awful part of the year (or a little of both). So, as we are in the midst of the chaos, take a moment to step back. Take a deep breath… Take stock… Make certain that you are:

- Taking steps to minimize stress;
- Caring for you physical, spiritual and emotional needs.

Steps to reduce stress and caring for your emotional needs: Appreciate that the increased socializing and contact with friends and family can reignite unresolved emotional conflicts, causing sadness, depression, nervousness, etc. Recognition is often half the issue.

- If you have lost a loved one recently, remember that the first holidays without the dear one are the most difficult. Acknowledge and accept your emotions, knowing that they are normal and the difficulty will lessen with time. Schedule to spend time with people who provide soothe.

- Perhaps you fear reigniting family feuds. Here, take the time to reflect on the sorts of problems that have occurred in the past. Think about what needs to happen so as to avoid recreating previous destructive conflicts. What are your hopes? Are they realistic? Is it acceptable for family members to have powerful differences in opinion? If not, why? Can you call family members in advance and tell them : “I want us to have a beautiful holiday this year. I recognize we have our differences, so let us agree to avoid certain hot themes ” (or some other ideas you may have.)

- Keep a sense of humor and mutual respect for those with whom you interact.

Gift Giving: If this is a source of stress, examine why. Are you short of funds? How about making things, or creating lovely redeemable coupons:

i. For the tired parents of young children, a coupon for babysitting or prepare an audio book, with you recoding a favorite tale.
ii. For young children, coupons for particular events like a picnic hike, a travel on a train, a day at the theater, etc.
iii. Prepare a photo album for dear ones.
iv. Prepare a coupon for an older loved one, where you spend a day doing whatever everyday jobs or activities this person wants.

Caring for your bodily and spiritual needs

- Be sure to continue exercising, meditating, eating healthily and obtaining proper rest.
- Spiritually, what needs do you possess? Do the holidays create for greater spiritual expansion or not? What might accomplish that for you?
