Happy Thanksgiving!!!

The Holidays should be a fun time but they can also bring stress and anxiety and that's why it's important to relax and take care of yourself. Here's some tips to surviving the holidays...

1. Take time for yourself. Although spending time with friends & family is essential, it's also important to have at least five minutes to relax.
2. Don't set unrealistic exercise goals. Aim to exercise 20 minutes a day instead of an hour.
3. Create new, more active traditions. Instead of throwing a dessert or cocktail party, try snowshoeing or ice-skating as an alternate holiday event.
4. Drink plenty of water. Although the cold weather may make you less inclined to grab a glass of water, it's just as important in the winter as it is during the summer.
5. Spread out meals. Don't feel like you have to eat everything at once. Try eating dinner early and then taking a walk before sitting down for dessert.
