01

Plan your time

The key to not feeling stressed during this busy festive period is to manage your time well. Avoid cramping too many activities into your daily calendar so that you won’t have to rush frantically from one point to another. If you have too many functions to attend, learn to say no to some. Focus on spending quality time with your loved ones instead.

02

Budget well

Shopping for gifts can be a stressful activity, especially if you don’t plan ahead. Be sure to make a list of the people you want to present gifts to and allocate a budget that is within your means. Alternatively, skip the shopping and showcase your creativity and sincerity with DIY gifts. Nothing says “I care” like a lovingly crafted gift by you.

03

Eat in moderation

It will be difficult to resist stuffing yourself with all the delicious food at the parties, but be sure to know your limits. Overeating isn’t just bad for the waistline – it is also detrimental to your bodily functions. For example, eating too much means your body must work even harder to break down the food, and this in turn results in lethargy and discomfort.

04

Eating healthy

A good diet is the key to good health and feeling energized during the holiday season. You may want to take supplements and health essences to support your diet.

05

Get enough rest – Don’t sacrifice the sleep!

It’s a simple task that doesn’t involve planning or calculations, but sleep is actually one of the most important and underrated aspects of personal wellness as it is an incredibly effective way of healing the body. For a good night’s rest, take a warm shower and refrain from using your mobile devices an hour before bedtime. Always aim to get between six and eight hours of quality sleep.
