Take It Easy This Holiday Season

60 Seconds to better health…a message from Kaiser Permanente

You’ve worked hard all year and now the holidays are almost here. Great! You could use the break. And this year, you want everything to be perfect. The food, the decorations, the presents…. Suddenly, the holidays don’t seem so restful. Here are some ideas to help you enjoy the holiday season:

Don’t try to do it all
Going to work, shopping, wrapping gifts, cooking, and cleaning the house isn’t really much of a holiday, is it? Decide what you need to do—and do only that.

Spending lots of money on gifts won’t make your holidays more enjoyable—it will probably make them more stressful. Limit spending to what you can realistically afford. Start shopping early and keep your eye out for sales.

If holiday preparations are making you tense and irritable, then take some time for yourself. Exercise or just rest. If you’re at work, go for a lunchtime walk. Remember, the holidays are a good time for thinking about how much your well-being, family, and friends mean to you.

For more techniques to beat stress, try a yoga, tai chi, or mind-body class. You can find a class near you at kp.org/classes.

That’s this month’s 60-seconds to better health, a message from Kaiser Permanente—Live well and thrive!
