Holiday Stress Making You Miserable? Time To Change The Rules!

Holiday stress causes turmoil for many people. We have all had problems at holiday time and for some, the situation is far more advanced than for others.For many, much of the problem is related to family issues, because, no matter which traditions you follow, holiday time tends to be a time of getting together with family. I call this wellness category, festival wellness. Some people take this form of stress farther than others and they use special events as an excuse to commit some atrocity against family members and friends, by whom they feel wronged. But, for most of us, it's simply the hustle and bustle of the decorating, the shopping, the entertaining and the visiting that causes the stress. Sometimes, this type of stress has its roots in negative childhood memories, from which we seem to have never recovered. But whatever the cause, learning some coping skills or problem solving skills will go a long way toward fixing the problem. Sometimes, just breaking the rules will be enough to get rid of the stress. There are no laws to say that we have to do things the same way that your parents always did. Keeping our head on straight about traditions is a major step in ending or better managing the holidays. Achieving and maintaining festival wellness is a choice and it's different for every one of us.
