HAVE A LOW-STRESS HOLIDAY
3 Tips for a Merrier Time
The holidays are right around the corner, and while many people can’t wait to eat turkey and swap presents, others only see stress on the horizon. Especially for those hosting parties, between decorations, big dinners, excited kids, and visiting family, it can all feel overwhelming. If celebrations are happening at your house this year, here are three tips to lessen the strain and keep up the holiday cheer. RECHARGE FIRST Ensure you’re rested and recharged before the holidays by taking time to relax, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that make you feel good. When you’re rushing to get everything done, it can be tempting to skip self-care routines, but that will cost you in the long run. Your daily exercise and other health activities keep you balanced and ready to face challenges head-on. GET STARTED EARLY Holidays always arrive faster than we expect, so begin preparing early. If shopping for presents is a pain point, don’t wait until the last minute. Decorate earlier than you need to — or better yet, get the kids to do it for you. There’s only so much cooking you can do ahead of time, but ensuring you have all of the equipment and nonperishable ingredients you need a few weeks in advance will reduce both your workload and anxiety. DON’T EXPECT PERFECTION The sooner you let go of the idea of a “perfect” holiday, the sooner you’ll be able to have a happy one. Face it: Something will go wrong. Whether it’s an overcooked Testimonials
dish, a child throwing a temper tantrum, or your uncle talking politics at the dinner table, nothing will ever go just how you planned. So, embrace the imperfections.
Whether you’re celebrating this year with a group of two or 20, holidays can be a stressful time — but they don’t have to be. With these tips, your festivities may not be picture-perfect, but they will be a lot of fun.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
“I reached out to Rob Usry because I had an unusual case of being dragged and run over by an uninsured driver and uninsured vehicle. Both Rob and Rose took great care of me from the start. They were both very attentive and always got back to me in a timely manner if I had any questions. They kept me updated frequently about my case. Rose checked on me regularly to see how I was doing. Very
professional people. They discussed all aspects of my case with me, and I was not disappointed with the outcome. They really stepped up to the plate for me and got an outcome that I was very happy with. I would definitely recommend to family, which means I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you very much, Rob and Rose.”
