Beating Holiday Burn Out

Parenthood can be an array of experiences, stresses, and joys. The need to be constantly “on” and navigating the ups and downs of home life and child rearing can be rewarding but challenging. The holiday season can bring about even more stress with the need to attend social gatherings, financial strain, and the pressure create the “perfect” holiday memories at every turn. This stress can lead to mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion, resulting in burn out.

Healthy Holiday Eating

The holidays are quickly approaching! As always, the holidays come with delicious
food. This can be an exciting time, but also a time of stress for people who want to
avoid over-eating. Suddenly you find yourself surrounded by temptations, whether it be
treats at work, cookies brought over by a friend, party buffets and, of course, family
dinners. Believe it or not, it is possible to eat healthy over the holidays and still enjoy
yourself.
