...See more I was surfing the forums and ran across this "fitness Friday". I think this is a great idea. The threads I see are all older though. Did this stop due to lack of participation or are there recent threads that I am not seeing or cannot find? I would like to participate in this if it was brought back.

FITNESS FRIDAY 12/9/22 (QUICK EFFECTIVE WAYS TO REDUCE HOLIDAY STRESS)~
by PoliteOcean
Last post
 December 17th, 2022
...See more HEY EVERYONE! WELCOME TO "FITNESS FRIDAY"..... 🎄Even though we mostly talk about ways here to keep and/or stay Physically healthy, there are also times when we talk about our "Mental & Emotional" Fitness as well! ❄️The holiday season can be a stressful time. Whether you’re planning last-minute trips, making sure you’ve done your holiday shopping, or trying to cope with changing schedules in inclement weather, there is no shortage of things that can elevate your stress levels. 🎁Today's Topic Discusses: "EFFECTIVE WAYS TO REDUCE HOLIDAY STRESS"~ Here are some of the most effective ways to reduce holiday stress: 🎄Incorporating Activity: Simply getting up and making time to move in the Fresh outdoor air, or even squeezing in a few minutes in the morning, after work, or between commercials can help give you the boost you need to relieve stressors from your day. Or even help get your day started off on a better foot! Taking 5-10 minutes is all you need to get a quick boost! 🎁Get Organized Early: Take notes, make a shedule for yourself, project any holiday budgets, Getting organized earlier will help you allocate your time and resources more orderly. So you can avoid last minute scrambling to get things done. ❄️Slow Down, Don't Rush: During all the hustle and bustle of things, it can make you feel like you have very little time. And added pressures can build up. When things get a little hectic, slow down, and avoid rushing through things.When you rush mistakes and added stress happen. Take deep breaths and focus, create a checklist for yourself that you need to do, sort them as you complete the list, thus creating some structure. This will also help you to prioritize. ⛄️Be Comfortable Saying NO: With holiday responsibilities possibly adding up, they can compound quickly If you always say Yes to everyone and everything,. During this time of year, you may feel obligated to say yes to all of it. Realize that you Can't please everyone. Which is why its a good thing with getting comfortable in learning to say NO! And setting and creating "Boundaries' in polite manner. And can also help you to reduce those last minute stressors and headaches. 🎄Avoid Comparison with Others: They say "Comparison is the Thief of all Joy".... The holiday season can bring lots of challenges including comparing yourself to others on some level. And can add to your stress. Learning to be yourself and avoiding comparing yourself with others and things is a great way to focus on what Really Matters! Such as spending time with your Family and Friends. 🎁Focus on Health and Well Being: When stress rises other areas of your life can begin to lapse as you place them on the back burner. During this time of year, Renew your commitment to your own health and wellbeing. And those "healthy habits" that are important! ❄️Become Comfortable with Imperfection: Stress can stem from your desire to make sure that everything is perfect. Avoid trying to create the "perfect" holiday and instead again, focus on the things that really truly matter. ⛄️Build a Support Network: the next thing you can do to alleviate holiday stress is to seek out and/or build a support network. Through those who are close to you, or group support, whether person or online, or through family and friends. Also sharing responsibilities can also help you get things done in less time if you have a personal support system. But they can also be a great bonding experience for the people closest to you. 🎄Remain Optimistic: Keeping Optimism through the Holiday season can help you put things into perspective and avoid stress. Even the smallest things such as smiling frequently or laughing throughout the day can help you to reduce those times when you begin to feel stressed. When you remain optimistic, especially during this busy time of year, you may find that not challenge is to big to tackle! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **WHAT WAYS DO YOU INCORPORATE OR FIND TO BE "MOST" EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING HOLIDAY STRESS (Or Other Stressors)? **WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT DO, OR HAVE DONE THAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU THAT IS NOT ON THE LIST?!
