‘Tis the season for mistletoe, gift-giving and holiday parties! It can also be the season of feeling stressed, tired and overwhelmed. Read on for tips to keep your sanity and put the joy back in the holiday season.
Take a Time Out
With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, you may find yourself longing for just another hour in the day to get things done. To keep your mind clear, your spirits high and your body energized, remember to fit in some “me” time every day. Take a walk and look at the Christmas lights, read a chapter of your favorite book or watch one of your favorite holiday programs. Whatever it is that recharges your batteries, do it!
Indulge Your Health
Christmas cookies, candy canes and extra helping of eggnog may seem par for the course during the month of December, but all that indulgence can leave you feeling even more tired and stressed. Take care of your body and indulge your health by drinking a Mayesa. The delicious dark chocolate taste will satisfy your sweet craving and all the healthy goodness will give you a natural energy boost.

And remember, if you feel like having a Christmas cookie or two, go ahead! Moderation is truly the key to enjoying the holidays!
Set Priorities
It is easy to feel spread too thin during the holidays. However, it is up to you to set boundaries for your well-being. It’s okay to say no when invited to the fourth holiday celebration in one day. It’s fine to choose to have a Christmas movie marathon with the family instead of fighting the crowds at the mall. Remember to do what is important to you and your family and let the other stuff slide a bit during this busy time of year.
Slow Down
With the holiday clock ticking down at what seems to be a frenetic pace, it’s hard not to feel rushed and anxious. Take a deep breath and reflect on what the holidays are truly about…family, friends, generosity and appreciating all the good things in our lives. The shopping, gift wrapping and cooking will all get done – and with a lot less stress – when you’ve taken the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the spirit of the season.
The Mayesa family wishes you and yours the happiest of holidays!
