“Calm” for the holidays

Feeling anxious about the holidays? Try these tips to bring on the calm:

Don’t feel like you have to say “yes” to every invitation, menu demand or gift request.
Ask others to pitch in on tasks such as shopping, baking and wrapping. And if someone offers help, accept it!
Set a budget for gift purchases and stick to it. A mountain of new debt is no way to start the new year.
If you’re hosting a meal, ask guests to bring side dishes or desserts. If they ask to do dishes, hand them a sponge!
A 15 minute walk each day will leave you refreshed and help clear your head.
