Get out for a breath of fresh air. Just stepping away from your chores, to-do list or computer is relaxing.

Mindfulness is a way to actively engage in relaxation. Rather than worrying about the past or the future, be present in the moment. Meditation is one way to be mindful, so is muscle relaxation. Schedule a massage. Use that time to relax and live in the moment.

Get moving. That sounds counter-intuitive, but exercise helps produce endorphins which make you feel better. Exercise doesn’t have to be a full-on workout at the gym either. Walk, dance, take a bike ride. Just move.

Breathe your way to relaxation. Take a few slow, deep breaths. Close your eyes. Imagine an idyllic scene. Breathe in deeply, and continue to breathe slowly in an out. Deep breathing is one technique to alleviate stress.

Give yourself permission to relax. If you plan to relax every day while things are calm, it will be easier when you’re trying to relax when life gets busy.

Plan for a few, easy New Year’s resolutions. If you try to change too much at once, that can be stressful. It takes about two weeks to drop a bad habit and two weeks to create a new better habit. Do one or two things at a time, and give yourself a chance to make them work.

Stay Safe During the Holidays
There’s nothing worse than spoiling your holiday season with a trip to the emergency room. Here are a few tips for staying safe during the holidays.
Most of all, have a happy holiday season with family and friends. The ER won’t mind, if you don’t need them.

Stay Safe During the Holidays
Home fires are common during the holidays, many the result of holiday lighting.
Test your smoke detectors to make sure they’re working properly and replace any that have stopped working.
Keep live trees adequately watered. If you can pull needles from a tree with little effort, the tree needs more water.
If you’re using an artificial tree make certain that it is fire rated.
Look carefully at all strings of lights before you hang them. Replace any with frayed wiring. Covering frayed wires with electrical tape isn’t worth the risk to your home.

Stay Safe During the Holidays
One of the hazards of the holidays is theft. Robberies increase by 20% in December most years, and with the uptick in crime nationwide in the past 2 years, it may be higher this year.
To protect yourself, make certain you lock doors and windows in your car and your home. Check the doors and windows that aren’t used very often–garage side doors, back doors, basement windows.
Never leave your car running and return to the house even for a few minutes. A running car is a perfect crime of opportunity.
