This holiday, take the stress out of the season.
Here are a few holiday coping skills to keep your holiday festive:
- TAKE A BREAK– when you wake, and during the day, stop and take a few deep breaths, be in the moment.
- STAY IN MOTION – exercise, whether indoors or out, provides the energy boosts you need.
- GET PLENTY OF REST – dreams of sugar plums are optional.
- LIMIT CONSUMPTION OF HOLIDAY FOOD AND ALCOHOL – overindulgence can cause sluggishness and depression.
- View gambling as entertainment and not as a way to make money.
- Set a money and time limit and stick with it
- Don’t try to win back losses by more gambling
- Balance gambling with other recreational activities
- Don’t mix drinking and/or taking drugs and gambling
