Top Tips for a non-overwhelmed Christmas

Do you look forward to Christmas, or does it instill a feeling of dread and ‘Oh, when will it be over?’
Many of us are already stressed and worn out, then the thought of having to deal with the Auntie who judges and the Uncle who pinches your bum between courses is just too much. For others it brings back unpleasant or sad memories. There is all that rich food, running all over the country-side visiting people you don’t see any other time of the year– no wonder we don’t all see Christmas as an enjoyable time of the year.
BUT, it doesn’t have to be that way…..


Now, you have probably heard many of these before, but they do work and they will allow you to get the most out of any holidays you manage to get this year.

1. Alcohol in moderation– water is still the most important drink to have. (20ml per kg of body weight per day MINIMUM!)

2. Surround yourself with ‘good energy’ people– if there is someone you really don’t like, limit how much time you spend with them.

3. Get enough sleep– you should wake up refreshed.

4. Exercise– be it walking, swimming, yoga—just get off your bum and MOVE.

5. Make some ‘down time’- don’t over-fill the schedule so that all your days are spent rushing form here to there– slow down! And enjoy yourself.
