Tips for Managing Holiday Stress

From the December 2012 Benefits eNews

Let's face it. Stress and the holidays usually go hand-in-hand. Between crowded shopping malls, parties, family commitments, and gift giving, it's no wonder so many people get stressed out. Although it's difficult to eliminate stress entirely, consider these six tips during the holiday season—and every other day of the year.

Manage your time efficiently,
Recognize what you can and can't control,
Take care of your body,
Keep your sense of humor,
Look for ways to help others, and
Remember the importance of family.

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can help
