SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
Hear the word “holiday” and the word “stress” seems to follow in its wake. Any change in routine can be a stressor and holidays usually involve changes in routine. Because each brain is unique, your strategies for handling stressors need to work for you. Some counselors have estimated that half of most people’s problems are of their own making—based on the way they think. Imagine tweaking the way you think and getting rid of 50% of your holiday stress!
Think beyond the typical Christmas / Hanukkah, New Year’s, Cinco de Mayo, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, July 4th, or Labor Day celebrations. Anything that commemorates an important event in your life (e.g., anniversary of a birth, death, marriage, divorce, miscarriage, layoff, bankruptcy, or adoption) could have a greater impact on your brain than the more traditional holidays, so called.
Using the metaphor of gift giving, this seminar is designed to provide tips for handling holiday stressors more effectively. The strategies don’t cost a penny and can save you a mint. Give yourself five gifts and a lagniappe—now!
