Summary
This is episode 138 of the absolute mind podcasts and in today's podcast i'm going to be recapping over how you can remain calm over the festive period.
It's the most wonderful time of the year........ Or not?
For some people Christmas can be a very stressful time of year with family members staying over for prolonged periods of time, feeling under pressure to provide and be the host with the most and buckling under the pressure when small remarks or comments are made. In turn ruining your experience and creating that negative association for next year!
But there are a few points to remember when you are trying to deal with the added Christmas stress:
1 - It's only a few days
2 - Those family members don't want or mean to hurt or offend you
3 - Things only seem bad if you allow yourself to catastrophise them
4 - How you respond is what matters
5 - Breathe!!
6 - Relax and remain calm
7 - Embrace it all, be mindful and be sure to enjoy yourself.
