Rescue remedy

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, the song suggests, but is it for everyone? The stress of shopping, attending numerous parties, choosing the right presents and multiple other errands can affect anyone. It is the time when everyone is expected to be happy but sometimes you still think about loved one that did not make it this year or about a dream that did not happen. Family gatherings can be stressful too, some relationships are complicated others might trigger unhappy memories. With all the obligations and following traditions one sometimes might feel out of control, overwhelmed or even depressed. Emotional and psychological stress can predispose a person to a physical disorder so it is important to manage the stress.One way to manage is to bring into awareness what makes you stressed out the most and try to change that. If you feel sad, it is OK to cry, just because it is a holiday season you do not have to be cheerful all the time. If buying the right presents for your numerous nieces and nephews is getting impossible to do, go for gift certificates instead, most of the stores are offering now a wide selection of gift cards from restaurants to department stores. If cooking and setting the house is too much, ask your cousin to host the party this year. If a thought about staying with your relatives is stressful, book the hotel and only attend the party for a short time. The usual relaxation techniques like mild exercise, quiet walk or meditation are always helpful. If you still feel stressed out or are anticipating a stressful event, than it is time to try a Rescue remedy.
