I've been contemplating how to manage my stress while around family during the holidays. I haven't seen most of them in months, and everyone is trying to put their best foot forward as we gather to celebrate good health and honor those no longer with us. There are so many complicated emotions and stresses from both personal and professional lives. I'm uncertain how I'll handle it... maybe alcohol will help, I suppose.

If in doubt, alcohol is always the answer.

I focus on what really matters, like spending time with loved ones, and let go of the pressure to do everything perfectly.

Procrastinating all those feelings for later.

Just not worry about the small things and enjoy the time with friends/family. Also drinking eggnog helps

Honestly I can't say I've really ever drank eggnog, think I'll make it a Christmas goal this year to find some and try some ✌

By focusing on the event right now with your family. When you are with them laughing. You forget about stress.
