Today is #CyberMonday, classified by retailers as one of the biggest online shopping days of the year. While you might not be making any purchases online today, you?re probably already thinking about ways to better use your time and lessen some of the holiday stress that seems second-nature during this busy season. Some of our top ideas to consider are:
Shop Online
Save the hassle of finding a place to park and waiting in long lines and shop online. Bonus: you aren?t exposed to those ?specials? that sometimes creep into your basket and raise your bill.
Schedule Wisely
Don?t overbook yourself and your family for constant on-the-go activities. It?s okay to decline that fourth holiday party invitation. Stay home, watch your favorite holiday movie, take a nap, wrap those gifts just dropped off by the postman from your successful online shopping and enjoy time with your family.
Hit the Gym
Physical activity is proven to reduce stress and, if you are used to going to the gym, don?t stop during the holidays even if your schedule is really full. Your body is accustomed to getting a good workout and you?ll definitely feel it if you stop going. Don?t have a gym membership? Walk around the neighborhood or have a dance party with the kids a few times a week. The point is this: your body will love the physical activity and it will help you unwind.
Watch Your Plate and Your Glass
Enjoy those special holiday treats and libations, but do so moderately. One way to avoid over-indulging is to have a healthy snack before heading out to holiday gatherings. You?ll feel fuller when you arrive, resulting in a lessened urge to continue to fill your plate. Have one glass of water between every non-water beverage. Water not only helps you feel full, it also can serve as a zero calorie break between high-calorie beverages.
