Coping with Holiday Stress
Halloween is behind us and the next rush is already beginning. Thanksgiving, Family Gatherings, Holiday Shopping, and much less "you time" is upon us. For some this joyful time of year is lost due to the stresses of holiday shopping, the over indulgence in food and drinks, or the thought of dealing with you crazy Aunt Sally (yes we all have one). No matter what triggers your stress it is important to identify it so that you can better address it and Enjoy the magic of the Holiday Season.
Setting aside designated times for yourself is the best way to ensure that you will have that time away you need. Its never to early to begin planning these times. If you think back to past years I am sure you will see the pattern emerging: The pure joy and excitement felt at the beginning of November slowly fades to "Is it over yet" by mid December.
Don't let this be you.
Find an effective method to deal with your stress and find the alone time you need whether it be going to the movies or getting a massage.
Massage Therapy is a great way to deal with stress. Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system and provides deep rest and relaxation. One hour of massage can be the equivalent of 8 hours of sleep. This is your hour (or more) away from the family, shopping, crowds, long work hours, and anything else that needs a break!
If you have never had a massage before, discuss different types of massage with a massage therapist (like myself), your friends, or family. Communicate your needs with your therapist to ensure the best massage experience possible. Every detail right down to the music should be perfect for "Your Massage", "Your Experience", "Your Time Out".
Scheduling your appointments ahead of time will ensure that it wont get lost in the holiday shuffle and you will get the time that will work best for your needs and not cause additional stress.
