Our stress is created largely from our reaction to life events. We can actually change our reactions. It helps to have a new attitude. But, it will take lots of practice in most cases due to how the brain has been trained. It is well worth the effort though.
Tips for the Holidays:
Remember the only person you can change is you!
Let go of wanting others to act differently.
Instead of making assumptions, ask for clarification.
As Eckhart Tolle says, become transparent when you feel stress collecting in you and allow it to pass through instead of settling inside you.
It's our choice to be offended, we are taking someone elses comments personally, try to allow others their opinions, know who you are.
Treat yourself well by getting proper sleep, nutrition, exercise and quiet time.
When you are feeling stressed, take a moment to bring to mind something that makes you smile, focus on that inner joy, the tension will melt away and suddenly not be so important anymore!
Blessings! Happy Holidays!
