Reduce Holiday Stress - Simplify

Holidays are a time for gatherings, parties, and generally fun things. The problem is, sometimes we would rather stay home and not go out...too much of a good thing and all that.

It can be difficult to navigate all the opportunities and obligations that come this time of year. To reduce your holiday stress, consider saying "no" to invitations.

It seems like such a simple thing - to turn down an invitation, but it can be tricky. We can get caught in not wanting to hurt someone's feelings, not wanting to let someone down. We can sometimes be afaid that if we say "no" to this invitation, we will never be invited to anything again.

Reduce your holiday stress by doing MORE of what you want to do and LESS of what you don't want to do - and that includes turning down invitations to events you really don't want to attend.
