For many people, the holidays become a stressful time when it should be about celebrating.  Here are some tips on how to make your holidays less stressful and more happy and healthy.

Stick to your schedule.

As much as possible, try to stick to your regular schedule.  Don’t miss your gym workout, squeeze it in before the holiday party.

Make exercise a priority

It can be tough to fit exercise into your schedule during the holiday season.  Make it a priority and make it fun.  Sign up for a holiday race with friends or exercise with friends who are visiting.

A great way to catch up is to take a walk.  A brisk, 15-minute walk will boost your mood for 2 hours.

Do less, enjoy more

You don’t have to go to every holiday party or find the most clever place for the elf each night.  Cut yourself some slack!  Choose the events you want to attend, and kindly say “no” to those you don’t.

Make sure that you have time for yourself to relax and unwind.  Give yourself this gift this holiday season.
