Good evening.
You know no matter how many times I tell myself not to stress during these times, it never works.....I still stress. I prayed on my way to work the other day. I asked God to give me the strength not to stress, I asked for blessings for myself and everybody else who needed them. After I prayed I felt a little better but couple of hours later I started to stress again.

When I start to stress I find an activity that I can lose myself in, something that I have to concentrate and focus all my energies on. It really helps a lot! This is one period of time that is big with stress. My home burned down on October second, taking all my belongings and animals with it. I had gone to town for a doctor's appointment and I spotted the smoke as we were driving home. I prayed that IT wouldn't be my home but when we got to the road to my house it was obvious that it was my house. Now I have the stress of clearing the lot, getting the company that caused the fire to pay for my losses and deal with rebuilding my home and my life. When you start to stress think of the stress in other people's lives. And then find an activity that you need to focus all your attention on. It'll surprise you how the stress will diminish. I started designing and making teddy bears thirty years ago, it has been a wonderful release for stress. I haven't even started thinking about the holidays... Except that I don't really want ham or turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Of course I have other things on my mind other than holiday shopping. I wish I could take care of your holiday stress for you so life is a bit easier for you and you can enjoy yourself and your family.

So sorry that you are going thru that. My stress is just the financial part of these holidays. I 'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

To cope with stress is proper mindset. Think of it this way, Holidays are times of the year where you can gather and not think about work. :)
