Keep the Stress out of Thanksgiving--Be Grateful

Thanksgiving will be here in a couple of weeks. It's a good time to remember to take care of ourselves and keep stress to a minimum. Here are some stress-reducing tips:


  • Be grateful for what you have. At the beginning of each day, reflect on your blessings and the people who complete your life.

  • Don't let little aggravations overshadow the important ones.

  • Count the things that are going right in your life, not those going wrong.

  • Take a break when you feel yourself getting stressed. Don't wait until you are overwhelmed.

  • Keep close to family and friends during this and other holidays.

  • Burn a candle with one of the wonderful stress-reducing fragrances like lavender or vanilla.

  • Take a mini vacation in your mind.

  • Enjoy yourself.

Remember Thanksgiving is about being thankful.
