Holiday Season
Oh great it is Holiday season! We are all either heading out of town or having company come to us. That involves either being in horrible traffic and complaining about it when we get where we are going or waiting on our guests who will be complaining about it when they arrive. So, the first hour is a lot of complaining! Than the visit begins. Here are some tips from your Woodbridge, Dale City VA chiropractor to help you deal with Holiday Stress.
Tips to Relieve Holiday Stress:
Go for a walk.
The rhythm of walking has a tranquilizing effect on your brain. Shoot for a brisk 20 minute walk each day.
Set a budget.
Overspending is one of the biggest causes of holiday stress. Remember, the best gift you can give anyone is your time and attention.
Get some sunshine.
There’s nothing like a little fresh air and the feel-good serotonin boost we get from the sun to give us a lift.
Stick with your daily routine.
Try to maintain your regular schedule as much as possible. Your body likes routine.
Get a good night’s sleep
It’s more important than ever to schedule enough time to get your zzz’s
Don’t over schedule
It’s okay to say “no” to events that aren’t important to you. Manage your time wisely and remember the time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.
Stay well.
Though we can’t always dodge those winter germs, remind yourself and your family to take your vitamins and wash your hands.
Eat healthy.
Leave the belly to Santa. Don’t go overboard on sugary cocktails and party treats. Eat a balanced diet with lots of whole grains and veggies and drink lots of water.
Don’t sweat the small stuff.
Let go of the idea of a perfect holiday and enjoy the one you’re having. In the end, it’s all about spending time with the people you love.
Close your eyes and breathe.
Promise yourself more time to savor the best parts of the season and plan to have a worry-free, hurry-free, smile-filled holiday.
