I went to another Stress Class today. It was called Holiday Survival. Some of their suggestions are useful. Here are some that will work for me.
1. Don't go to a party hungry. I use to not eat all day because I was going out to eat. But if you're watching your weight, then eat good food before you go out so that at the party you'll be too full to eat junk.
2. Don't stand around the food table. Distance yourself as far away as possible.
3. Don't forget to keep up with your exercise program. Besides keeping calories in check, it regenerates your spirits and is overall good for your physical and emotional help.
4. Get organized and stick to it. Shop online. Shop early. You don't have to wrap every single present. The cat doesn't care.
5. Get plenty of sleep. Not enough sleep makes you grouchy and depressed. Nobody feels like doing anything in that foul mood.
6. You don't have to send out Christmas cards. If you do send out cards, you don't have to write a letter in each one. People who are late and send out their cards after Christmas, do that to assuage their guilty consciences.
7. Be mindful of the season, each day. Enjoy the moment.
8. Don't waste your time blogging.
