Managing Holiday Stress

Holidays can be a particularly stressful time for everyone. There's the cleaning and decorating to do, the relatives and friends to invite, the menus to plan, the cookies and cakes to bake, the gifts to buy and wrap, the children to get dressed. Under these conditions who wouldn't feel stressed?

In fact, says experts, stress is to modern life what precipitation is to the rain forest. Inevitable. The key to coping, particularly at holiday time, is knowing how to use stress to get energized about the upcoming festivities and how to protect yourself from the kind of high anxiety that can turn you into a driven dog on 17 leashes.

"It's totally normal to feel stressed," confirms Richard Earle, PhD, Managing Director of The Canadian Institute of Stress / Hans Selye Foundation. In fact, as Canadian stress pioneer, Dr. Hans Selye, has pointed out, stress provides the "spice" in life. "There are the wonderful 'up' emotions created by stress but it's important to recognize that feelings like excitement come with the 'down' emotions too," explains Dr. Earle.

The good news? While the emotional highs and lows may be biochemically inevitable, each one of us can regulate how fast we're pressing on the stress accelerator.
