Take the pressure off!

It's that time of year again when we think we need to do more than usual. Allow yourself to be a human being this holiday season, instead of a human doing. This is the time of year to relax and have fun while enjoying family and friends. Most of us tend to focus on what we did not do last year or what we need to do the next couple of weeks. The key to a better attitude this holiday season is to focus on being in the present moment. I know what you're saying, "how can we do this when there is still so much to do?". Give yourself extra time and take care of yourself before everything else. For the most part, all of us have been on a plane and heard the flight attendants announce before takeoff, “in case of an emergency first place the oxygen mask on yourself then on your child.” In other words, we cannot help others unless we first help ourselves. So, here are 3 great ways to take the pressure off this holiday season:

1. Exercise, exercise, exercise! This will decrease your anxiety and get you into a better frame of mind
2. If you find yourself rushing, STOP! Slow down, then take three nice, slow, and deep breaths
3. Ask for help, delegate, and pay attention what you are saying yes to
