Holidays By Design - Beating Holiday Stress


23% of respondents said they obsessed too much over making their holidays perfect.  15% said that they outright dreaded the holidays. - Prevention Magazine and Dateline NBC

THEME:

Holidays provide opportunity for celebration, gift-giving, reflection, tradition, relationship and spiritual renewal, and relaxation. The key to success in avoiding 'Holiday Blues' or 'Holiday Stress' is to recognize those activities that energize, motivate, and please us, and to delete or change those activities that irritate, disappoint, and anger us.
