9 ways to de-stress during the holidays...

  1. Work up a sweat
    (translation: exercise!)
  2. Wake up with the sun
    (keep your curtains open and let the sunlight wake you up)
  3. Switch off the
    electronics (turn off the iPad and turn on some holiday tunes)
  4. Take time for some tea
    (herbal tea to beat the winter blues)
  5. Light the candles (low
    lights and aeromatherapy)
  6. Make time for friends
    and family (slow down and actually enjoy their company)
  7. Raid your dark chocolate
    stash (small pieces of dark chocolate have fat-burning properties and
    antioxidents)
  8. Make a gratitude list
    (give thanks and share it with your loved ones)
  9. Eat vitamin C rich foods
    (the big C has been proven to reduce both physical and mental symptoms of
    stress.)
