Between trying not to bust the budget on Christmas shopping, listening to Uncle Bobby\u2019s conspiracy theories <em>again<\/em>, and navigating everyone else\u2019s holiday expectations, the holidays can spin up our anxiety alarms. This time of year can be frantic\u2014and downright frustrating. So how do we reduce holiday stress or prevent it before it happens?\n    <\/p>\n<h2>What Is Holiday Stress?<\/h2>\n<p>The extra expenses. Angry in-laws. Long hours at the office. Exhausted and sugared-up kids. Cold weather and seasonal darkness. Final exams, sporting events and recitals. Absent romantic partners. Profound loneliness . . . Individually, we can handle each of these stressors as they come. But during the holidays, everything hits at once. Throw in an election season and Aunt Suzie\u2019s surprise visit, and our fight-or-flight stress response systems are ringing off the hook.\n    <\/p>\n<div class=\"BlogInsert-copy\">\n<p>Get expert money advice to reach your money goals faster!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In most cases, stress is normal and good. It\u2019s when it becomes overwhelming, heavy and all-at-once that we lose perspective. When we experience stress, our muscles tighten, our heart rates spike, and our bodies flood with hormones, like cortisol and adrenaline. We scan our surroundings for danger over a platter of steaming turkey and stuffing. We\u2019re trying to not die\u2014with Bing Crosby crooning in the background.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Holiday stress is the worst. But there are things we can do about it.\n    <\/p>\n<p>This season, give yourself and others some grace\u2014a lot of it. Make no mistake: Stressful things will happen. But the exciting thing is we get to choose how to respond to them.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>13 Ways to Reduce Holiday Stress<\/h2>\n<p>Refusing to let stress and anxiety run your life is a\u00a0minute-by-minute choice. It\u2019s a <em>daily<\/em>\u00a0decision.\u00a0This holiday season, let\u2019s put in the effort to get our minds and hearts in a good place before buying presents or heading to the in-laws\u2019 house for Christmas dinner.\n    <\/p>\n<p>I want to share 13 ways to reduce holiday stress <em>before<\/em> it comes\u2014so you can spend your time on what really matters to you.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0Clearly picture the Christmas you want to have.<\/h3>\n<p>Set expectations for yourself and others by\u00a0painting a picture\u00a0of what you want your Christmas to look like. Be crystal clear. Here are some things to think about before the holidays start:\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Who\u2019s sitting around the table at mealtime? <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What are we eating? <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What are we talking about\u2014or not talking about? <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>How am I connecting with my friends and family?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Which Christmas movies are we watching? <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What presents are we giving\u2014or not giving\u2014each other?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Share your picture with your loved ones so they can understand what you\u2019re imagining. Ask them to paint a picture of what they want too so you can be on the same page.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0Set boundaries.<\/h3>\n<p>Over the holidays, it might seem like your mom, father-in-law or second cousin call the shots.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Wrong. You choose.\n    <\/p>\n<p><em>You<\/em> get to decide where you go, how long you stay there, who you invite into your home, and how much money you\u2019ll spend.\n    <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important\u00a0to set those boundaries\u00a0before you kick off the Christmas festivities.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Before you commit to anything, decide what your limits are for:\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Traveling:<\/strong> Will you drive or fly? How long will you visit?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hosting guests:<\/strong> Will they stay for three days? What about two weeks? Can the dog come too?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spending:<\/strong> How much money are you budgeting for presents this year? How many gifts should each kid get?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food:<\/strong> What will you eat? How many cookies are too many?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conflict:<\/strong> How will you handle a disagreement if one breaks out?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By the way . . . don\u2019t drive or fly thousands of miles to a place that\u2019s inhospitable or threatening. You can say no. But once you decide and commit to seeing family, do it with a good attitude. Find joy in the hard moments. If you choose to go, you\u2019re also choosing to be a good sport instead of a grinch. This is what it means to be mature.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0Avoid family conflict.<\/h3>\n<p>Even the best families can drive you nuts.\u00a0So, this year, before you even pack your bags, think about conflicts that might pop up with family. If your dad has a pattern of talking bad about a particular group of people, don\u2019t be surprised when he starts one of his rants. You can\u2019t change him\u2014but you\u00a0<em>can<\/em> decide how you respond.\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>You can ask someone to stop. <\/strong>It\u2019s possible to be direct and still be kind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You can get up and leave.<\/strong> Sometimes walking away to take a breath is the best thing you can do.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create a plan of action. <\/strong>Decide ahead of time how you\u2019ll respond if tensions start to build.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Communicate your plan ahead of time.<\/strong> Make it clear you don\u2019t want to talk about politics or your little brother\u2019s addiction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If someone pushes back on your boundaries, you can leave! Pay attention to when you feel uncomfortable, awkward, unsafe, embarrassed or trapped. If someone is drunk, angry, using foul language, or telling repulsive jokes, you get to decide if and when you walk away.\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>4.\u00a0Focus on what you can control.<\/h3>\n<p>There are only two things on planet Earth you can control: your thoughts and your actions. You can\u2019t control what your parents say around the dinner table. You can\u2019t control your kids\u2019 attitudes.\n    <\/p>\n<p>If you feel stressed this Christmas, write down the things that are in your control. Take ownership of these things\u2014like buying groceries, getting in a walk, or wrapping presents. Everything else that\u2019s not in your control, like the weather or other people\u2019s reactions to overbaked potatoes, can be let go. There\u2019s nothing you can do about them, so set those expectations down by focusing on your own responsibilities.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>5.\u00a0Know your role in the situation.\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to your girlfriend\u2019s house for Christmas and you have to sleep on the uncomfortable couch and eat her family\u2019s weird food, remember: The world doesn\u2019t revolve around you. It\u2019s not your house. Your role is to support your partner, so embrace it. You chose to go, so decide to make hilarious memories instead of whining about the accommodations.\n    <\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re the one inviting your significant other to family dinner, be a gracious host or hostess. This includes paying attention to (and accommodating) food allergies or dining preferences. Remember that your guest is missing out on their traditions. They might be sad they\u2019re missing out on time with their family, so do the best you can to be supportive.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>6.\u00a0Say no.<\/h3>\n<p>I love Christmas as much as the next person, but no matter who you are, it\u2019s\u00a0<em>absurd<\/em>\u00a0to try to attend a million white elephant parties, ornament exchanges and cookie-decorating parties.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Be honest about what you can handle and say no when it\u2019s too much. Instead of squeezing in five Christmas parties, pick one or two. Prioritize your family\u2019s time and only commit to what<em>\u00a0you<\/em>\u00a0want to do. Focus on quality, not quantity.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<h3>7. Take a social media break.<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s an overwhelming amount of data, nonsense and news in our country right now. Not only is it all over our TVs, but it also floods our social media feeds. It\u2019s making us insane. And those perfectly curated Instagram and Pinterest Christmas feeds will only lead to comparison and keeping up with the Joneses.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Instead, spend more time looking into your kids\u2019 eyes than staring at screens. Hold hands, not video game controllers. Throw a football or kick a soccer ball\u2014in real life. Choose human connection, joy and laughter over like buttons and retweets. Each one of your electronic devices comes with an off button. Use it.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>8.\u00a0Make a Christmas budget.<\/h3>\n<p>Do it. Right now.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>A budget creates boundaries for your wallet (or bank account). Budgeting helps reduce stress because it gives you a plan for your money. Make a\u00a0zero-based budget\u00a0every month before the month begins. You decide where every single dollar in your bank account goes\u2014especially during the holidays.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Budgeting for Christmas\u00a0helps you avoid impulse purchases and keeps you from spending too much on white elephant gifts. So, make a budget and stick to it. You\u2019ll be glad you did.\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<h3>9.\u00a0Don\u2019t overdo the sugar.\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to the holidays, too much spiked eggnog or too many of Mom\u2019s famous sugar cookies can be a recipe for disaster. Yeah\u2014it all tastes like an Uber Eats delivery straight from Mrs. Claus\u2019 kitchen. But too much sugar messes up your natural hormone responses, blood sugar, insulin levels, and your brain\u2019s neurotransmitters (the body\u2019s chemical messengers).\u00a0\n    <\/p>\n<p>Mix that with a lack of sleep from caffeine and alcohol, <em>plus<\/em> a packed schedule, and you\u2019ve got a perfect storm for an anxiety rush. Limit how much sugar you eat and feed your body nutritious food as much as possible.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>10. Get plenty of sleep and movement.<\/h3>\n<p>Anxiety affects at least 40 million people in the U.S.<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0And one of the most powerful\u00a0tools you have to reduce anxiety\u00a0is sleep. So, instead of staying up late for the third night in a row bingeing Hallmark movies, prioritize your sleep. It\u2019ll keep your stress and anxiety at bay and help your immune system stay healthy.\n    <\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget to get outside and move. I don\u2019t care how cold it is\u2014put on some extra layers and just do it (or at least get into the gym). Exercise helps your body process and release stress hormones, and nature is important for our emotional and physical health. Here are some ways you can stay active during the holidays:\n    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bundle up and go on a walk to see Christmas lights in the neighborhood.<\/li>\n<li>Get an epic snowball fight going with the neighbors (play is exercise too).<\/li>\n<li>Walk through a Christmas tree farm.<\/li>\n<li>Go ice-skating.<\/li>\n<li>Build a snowman in the front yard.<\/li>\n<li>Go for a hike or nature walk.<\/li>\n<li>Go sledding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nobody wants to be sick at Christmastime\u2014and exercising, getting outside, and resting are all natural immune-boosting activities that will help you feel strong, peaceful and healthy.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>11. Take some quiet time for yourself.\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Keep your sanity by scheduling some quiet time to do things you enjoy. Read a book. Do a Christmas devotional. Sit down for five or 10 minutes with a meditation app. Give yourself some breathing room between parties, travel schedules, work deadlines and shopping.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Another key is to try to stick to your normal routine. If a normal day starts with pouring yourself a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper, don\u2019t skip it. If you exercise every day, keep exercising. Routines help you stay calm and focused\u2014plus, it\u2019s a great way to stay sane, especially when you\u2019re sharing a bathroom with your in-laws.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>12.\u00a0Ask good questions.\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m willing to bet you don\u2019t see your extended family all that often\u2014so when you do, why not take time to get to know them on a deeper level? Instead of making awkward small talk, really dig in and see if you can learn something about them you didn\u2019t know before. Be curious, not judgmental.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Ask your grandparents for their best piece of marriage advice. Ask your 5-year-old nephew which superhero he\u2019d want to be and why. And if you need some help thinking of fun, silly or interesting questions, check out these\u00a0Questions for Humans Conversation Cards.\n    <\/p>\n<h3>13.\u00a0Connect with the people around you.<\/h3>\n<p>Christmastime is meant to be filled with joy, gratitude, belly laughs and lingering conversations over the dinner table. But connection doesn\u2019t happen by accident. Don\u2019t get so caught up in the mania that you forget to enjoy the people you\u2019re doing all this for.\n    <\/p>\n<p>And do your best to respond well to holiday stress this year. Yeah, the holidays can be crazy\u2014but we can choose to be gracious and generous with ourselves and our loved ones.\n    <\/p>\n<p>And one of the best ways to deal with holiday stress is to connect with your loved ones on a deeper (and more fun) level. Check out my new book, <em>Building a Non-Anxious Life<\/em>, to learn ways to connect with others so you can begin building a non-anxious life (including around the holidays).\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramseysolutions.com\/personal-growth\/holiday-stress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re a die-hard Christmas fan or you just want to make it through another painstaking family dinner, the holiday season can have some stressful moments.
