Stress and melancholy are frequent uninvited visitors over the Christmas season. The duties around the holidays can be overwhelming; just a few examples include cooking meals, shopping, baking, cleaning, and entertaining.
Declutter your priorities
The holidays foster a lot of community in a “more is better” manner. However, there are moments when it seems like too much of a good thing. A “values clarifying” exercise can help you feel more in control and help you to manage stress.
Put differences aside
If family members or friends fall short of all of your expectations, try to accept them for who they are. Put off discussing complaints until a more suitable moment. Also, if something goes wrong, be understanding if other people become offended or concerned. They might also experience the impacts of Christmas stress and depression.
Obtain enough non-alcoholic beverages
Your hydration intake may have a significant impact on the cramped muscles and sore joints you experience while traveling. Given that our bodies are mainly water, healthy joint lubrication and circulation depend on staying hydrated. However, being adequately hydrated has effects that go beyond the body.
Do some little exercise
While traveling you may experience muscle pain due to the long time journey. Stretch those muscles whenever you can. If possible join a yoga class or gym when you stay. This will make your travel more comfortable.
