Are you suffering from the holiday rush? Checking your list and checking it twice. Trying to accomplish too many things at once. Running low on cash after all that gift buying. Christmas parties to go to. Friends and relatives to entertain. Cooking, cleaning, and last minute preparations making you a bit moody. Well, help is on the way! Try following these stress relievers people use to cope with the pressure.
According to the American Psychological Association survey, some of the most popular stress relief activities that people engage in include:
Listening to music
Prayer
Reading
Exercising, yoga or meditation
Eating or drinking alcohol
What’s your favorite stress reliever during the holidays?

I am becoming limited myself. I have turned to gentle beginner yoga which really helps me to keep moving.

@dgobucks226 It is very distracting 
, in a sense that I have been searching for my packet of Fisherman's Friend lozengers unsuccessfully for the last three days (gosh, I bought lots, but can't find a single packet right now!).

Nothing like a good distraction or in your case Darcy a bad one to help relieve the stress.

@YrNemo That happens to me all the time. I put something away and when I need it I forget where I decided to put it...I need a better system

@dgobucks226 Something unexpected happened, I do not feel well.

I find planning things out is a great way to relieve stress later on. Being prepared so nothing unexpected happens is a very good key to a less stressful holiday season.

We don't celebrate, so there's really no stress. But I usually listen to music.
