Hi!

How's it going? The holiday time can bring up lots of emotions. Joy, sadness, disappointment, and more.

That's why we need to be PRO-ACTIVE and make an EXTRA EFFORT to focus on POSITIVE and EMPOWERING habits. 

Don't wait until you think you need them. We always need Happiness habits in our lives to make the bad times better - AND to make the good times great. So PLAN to include Happiness habits in your lifestyle starting now. There are a few key tips to get you going in this latest newsletter.

Take care, Be Safe, and Be Happy.

 HOLIDAY STRESS 911

What to do when you realize your stress is mounting and you are having what I call a STRESS 911 moment? Here's something I did recently.

SHAKE THINGS UP:  Don’t worry about measuring up to holidays past. Experiment with new traditions (on top of old ones if you want).

BE CREATIVE:  Work on a passion project or a hobby - use your imagination to create something. 

HAVE FUN:  Plan a game or activity that's just plain fun

KISS – KISS – KISS:  “Keep It Simple Sweetie.” In short, “KISS.” Keep your holidays as simple as possible to avoid being overwhelmed.

TAKE THE CHEAP CHALLENGE:   What if you make a discount store, like your local “Dollar Store” a primary destination for holiday shopping?

CARE AND SHARE:  Help someone else: It’s hard to feel down while you are busy helping someone else. Do a RANDOM or even a PLANNED Act of KINDNESS.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS – LITERALLY:    Number a sheet of paper from 1 to 100. Challenge yourself to write 100 things you’re grateful for. A UCLA study shows that regular gratitude helps us feel better.

PAMPER TIME:  Take the time to take care of you. Buy yourself a gift. Listen to calming or uplifting music. Give yourself a facial or at home spa. Treat yourself.

GET TO MOVING:  Turn on some upbeat music and Dance. Take a walk. Exercise, etc. (More Ideas Below)

REACH OUT: Stay connected. Spend time with friends, and family, or even at a community event. And, if you're feeling extra lonely or unhappy - Call someone for help (Crisis hotline:  Call 988)
