Beating holiday stress
When I was asked to contribute to an article for The Lady magazine on beating holiday stress I knew exactly what they meant! The idea of a family holiday is always so fantastic, the plans so fun to make but the reality can be ever so different. The girls and I recently went on a little road trip from Austria to Croatia and the Italy. By the time I had packed the car my stress levels were elevated – to say the least! 😉 But before I get into the list I just wanted to add that looking at various different blogs and figuring out the best ways for you to deal with stress whether it is this blog or https://www.moravianwest.org/weird-science-stories-to-help-you-avoid-holiday-drama/ or something else, they should all be effective in helping you deal with any kind of holiday stress!
The article on beating holiday stress pulls together different experts and their tips:
- practice a mindful walk where you focus on what is actually happening inside and outside of you
- stretch your body, your limbs, move and refresh.
- Have a mantra at hand and repeat it several times. Such as ‘this too shall pass’ is a popular one that always reminds me that the stress I am experiencing is most likely temporary…so why not get over it asap!
