Holiday Stress Relief - 7 Reasons To Avoid Stress At Christmas
from: Cecil McIntoshHoliday Stress Relief - 7 reasons To Avoid Stress At Christmas
Some of my clients have difficulties enjoying holiday stress
relief around the Christmas holidays.
As a hypnotherapist, NLP trainer and Energy worker I help my
client to relax and maintain balance on a daily basics.
Here are 7 reasons for holiday stress relief that I have shared
with my clients over the years.
I. Maintain balance
Reality check 1
Balance helps you breathe, smell the roses and be aware of the
simple things in life.
You can get balance from noticing a falling leaf from a tree or
rain drops on your window. This is one simple way of enjoying
holiday stress relief.
2.Avoid overeating
Reality check 2
The Christmas holiday season presents many opportunities for you
to overeat. Overeating makes you feel stuffed and uncomfortable.
In order to experience holiday stress relief take smaller
portions.
3.Take a time out
Reality check 3
The Christmas holiday season can be very hectic. If you get
caught up in the fast pace of the season you may become
exhausted. This state of mind prevents you from enjoying holiday
stress relief. To avoid this, take time out.
4.Stay with your routine
Reality check 4.
The activities of the holiday season can take you out of you
routine. If you have a routine of regular exercise or meditation
stick to it. Any excuse you can find for not practicing your
routine will result in you losing focus and becoming complacent
rather than enjoying holiday stress relief.
5.Pace yourself
Reality Check 5
The holiday season is a time to relax, take a break and enjoy
holiday stress relief. When you pace yourself, you maintain your
balance and avoid getting into excesses (eating or drinking too
much).
6.Entertain and be entertained.
Reality check 6
The holiday season is a time to entertain. However, when you are
entertaining people; you must also allow your self to be
entertained. Stop, pace yourself and enjoy holiday stress relief.
7. The perfect gift
Reality check 7
Whether it is the perfect gift or dinner for the holiday season,
it is important to have fun with family and friends.
Fun does not mean stressing out about perfection. Fun means
maintaining a balance by eating smaller portions, taking a time
out, keeping your routine as you pace yourself and being
entertained. This is what holiday stress relief is all about.
So what is the moral of the story?
You can get stressed out by the holidays because you want to
have the perfect day or you can have fun and enjoy holiday
stress relief.
Remember you provide holiday stress relief to your friends and
family not by what you pretend to be but by being who you really
are in your heart.
