Ready? Let's go!

Holiday Stress Tips: It's All About What You Do Before!

It's all about what you do before your holiday season. Not during your holiday season, because then you'd be cutting back on the fun. So let's get started!

Exercise!

Hey, I know what you're thinking..."How's that going to help me?

Well, if you haven't already read about how exercise reduces stress , then do it now. I'll wait for you here.

Done?

So, exercise obviously reduces stress. But how can it be adjusted to fit the holiday season?

About two weeks before the holidays start, get in some good exercise. Why?

Well, you want to eat a lot during the holidays, don't you? If you're stressed about gaining weight, or being unhealthy, only exercise can help.

So, about 2 weeks before, start moving. Maybe a jog around the block everyday will do good. Do something to get your metabolism going.

This way, you're "preparing" your body for all of that delicious food coming in the next two weeks!

But here's the best part...

Once the holiday season starts, forget about exercise. Just have fun! Eat to your heart's content! It's only once a year after all.

You won't gain weight (probably) because you've been exercising daily for the past two weeks.

This means your metabolism is boosting, and you're less likely to gain weight.

You see how this is different from other holiday stress tips out there? "They" say to cut back on the food - who would do that!

Holiday Stress Tips: Another "Before" Tip!

So what else do other websites suggest for holiday stress management? Well, many say to "budget your money".

Hmm..Not a bad idea. But no one's happy by budgeting. Here's a more realistic solution.

Forget Money. Go Deeper

Is that box of chocolates really going to be worth it a year from now? A week from now? A day from now?

Get the point? Buy something that lasts and forget about the gifts that only add thrill for now.

So, is this going to blow your budget?

No. For example, buy your friend a nice movie. At least they can watch it over and over again.

All the treats and candies you buy for everyone soon adds up ($$!). And what's worse?

Once the chocolates are over, so is the temporary happiness. Keep the happiness alive by keeping the gifts.

Buy something that lasts. You'll save a lot of money.
