Top 7 Tips for Finding Fulfillment During the Holidays

For many people end of year Holidays bring both joy and stress. With all the great activities conducted during this season, we have come to associate it with gift swamping—and for many folks this can be a stressful experience. It is stressful to go through the list of what to get for whom and then the guilt after missing someone.

It’s of paramount importance to remember that a Holiday season shouldn’t leave you stressed out. A special gift to yourself could include sleeping enough; exercise, reflections of your past and how it relates to the future you envision; learning something new; saying no to what may negatively interfere with your goals; and setting achievable goals. And most importantly strengthening your spiritual standing.
