5 Self Care Tips for the Holidays
Will This Matter in Five Years? Often we have a certain idea of what the holidays should look like that we get lost in the details.
It may feel like the world is going to end if we don’t buy enough gifts, cook something from scratch, or make sure everyone is happy.
When you feel yourself getting frazzled ask yourself “Will this matter in five years?” If the answer is no, then let it go! One less thing on your to-do list. Trust me! Stress is not your friend this holiday season.
Stressed? Check out these posts to help you cope with stress:
Take Care of Your Health: With so many yummy treats during the holiday season, sometimes you can end up bloated and uncomfortable!
—Diffuse Essential Oils: Laughter, music, friends, and family fill your home this holiday season, but so can stress! Diffusing festive essential oils with an essential oil home diffuser. It can help set the mood for your holiday event and relax you and your guests without any extra work. Here are some of my favorite essential oil blends
—Delegate the work: This may seem like an odd self-care tip, but delegating the chores for the holiday season is a great way to take the stress off of you! Plus, any stress you can take off yourself is definitely a great way to take care of yourself.
- Have the kids help set the table or help wrap the presents.
- Ask your friends to bring a dish if you are hosting the holiday meal this year.
- Shop online for the holidays (aka let the computer do some of the work for you)
—Learn to say no: One of the best self-care tips for the holidays is learning to say no. Stress can lead to so many different health issues, and how can you enjoy the holiday season if you are stressed out. There are only so many hours in the day, and you are only one person. If you don’t feel like you can say no, just refer to the holiday self-care tip numero uno. That will always be your guide if it’s something that you can say no to or not. (Then no guilt allowed!)
