10 Tips for Holiday Sanity
November 21, 2007 by Deborah · Leave a Comment
In the hustle and bustle of the holidays–whether we are shopping, traveling, entertaining, or doing whatever we do for the holidays, we can become overwhelmed with the feeling of not getting it done on time. Cindy Krischer Goodman of the Miami Herald offers some great tips for keeping your sanity during the holidays.
1. Rediscover the meaning of the holiday for you personally and decide to celebrate in a way that works for you, rather than how others say you should do.
2. Be patient with yourself and do the best you can, trusting that the holiday will be perfect however it turns out.
3. Cut back on everything, including decorations, food, gifts and activities. Think creatively about alternatives.
4. Rather than begrudge another for not reciprocating with an expected gift, keep the focus on giving.
5. Consider alternatives to traditional shopping. Buy online, send baskets, order ready-made dishes for entertaining and avoid the madness.
6. Look for ways to outsource, delegate, automate or eliminate so that you have the help you need.
7. Start a new tradition such as giving to charity or watching a holiday movie.
8. Schedule time just for you.
9. Look at the blessings in your life and actively feel grateful.
10. Let go and have some fun.
