Life can be stressful, even more so around the holidays

A few tips to help you destress:

1. Go for a short walk outside. Just being in nature can help provide a natural calming effect.

2. Call a friend - keeping up connections with those we love helps us keep on track.

3. Do something you love! Make time to read or paint or bake - whatever gives you joy.

4. Unplug! Put down your phone or tablet and really connect with those around you, even if it is in a long line at the store.
