Destressing Christmas, Part 5 - Think through your health

THINK THROUGH YOUR HEALTH

Don't go to a party hungry. Eat something before you go so you're not ravenous. Think ahead of time about the amount of food you will eat.

Don't give up your workout. Exercise is one of the best ways to relieve stress. As your schedule gets more hectic, make sure to guard your exercise time. Eliminate something less important if you must eliminate something.

Don't neglect your sleep — you’ll be irritable and less able than usual to deal with stress. Research shows that your emotions will be all over the place and your logic powers suffer without sleep.
Make sure your family members are getting enough sleep, too. Try to keep normal bedtimes and naptimes.
