Here are some science-based methods to beat stress and stay happy during Christmas!
#1 - Be honest about what’s happening! When you feel those stresses begin to come up, identify them! Give them a name. Scientist say that naming your stressors will help calm them away! Slow, deep breathng can also benefit these moments by slowing your heartrate!
#2 - Remember what you’re grateful for! Remembering those positive moments and bringing to mind things you feel good about will boost your happiness and health, and decrease your stress. Gratitude always goes a long way!
#4 - Focus on others rather than yourself! One huge way to reduce stress is to get rid of the "me, myself, and I" mentality. Consider their perspective. What would they like to do? Target your conversations to them, and listen for their responses!
Albert Einstein had some seemingly simple suggestions as well!
#2 Understand that you are part of humanity and that everyone makes mistakes!
#3 Be mindful of your thoughts and feelings.
Einstein didn't let his failures (and he had many) stop him!! So don't waste your life on negative thoughts!
