Seasonal Stress?

Let's face it. The holidays can be stressful. Family gatherings and cooking demands can add pressure that hits some harder than others.

Try to avoid seasonal stress with Health Magazine's coping recommendations.

If you tend to overbook... Get ready to say no to some things. Prioritize and schedule time to do holiday activities that you enjoy instead of those you feel that you just have to do.

If you have family friction... Manage your expectations and be sure to make time for yourself.

You cut back on sleep to get everything done... Cutting back on sleep has many negative impacts. Make sleep a priority!

Remember, it is the holiday season. A time to relax, enjoy and celebrate. Don't sweat the small stuff and remember to smile and laugh. Happy holidays!
