How to avoid Holiday Stress Part 4

Hi Ashley:  It took me awhile to learn how to say no.  I think I'm doing it fairly well now. 
 
 It's very difficult to say no to those specialties made just at Christmas time.  Moderation is the key, but it can be so difficult, groan.....

Members,
 
Learn to say no. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you have to say no, people will understand.  If you do say yes when you know you don’t want to you’ll end up resenting others and feeling overwhelmed. If working overtime is necessary, try clearing other tasks from your schedule.

Don't throw away healthy habits.  Don’t let the holidays take over your diet. With all the tempting foods at arms reach it may seem like a good idea to indulge but overindulging will only add stress and guilt. Choose the healthiest of the selection like the fruit and veggies and don’t go overboard on sugary treats, and drinks.
