“It’s the holiday season, with the whoop-de-do and hickory dock,” ahhh can you hear the catchy melody in your head? Here’s more, “Happy Holiday, Happy Holiday,while the merry bells keep ringing, Happy Holidays to you!” Sounds just delightful doesn’t it? While the songs of the season may paint a picture of heart-warming, merry and bright moments many of us can hardly relate. Whether you’re crawling on a toy store floor searching for that coveted gift, baking mountains of cookies, or listening to Aunt Myrtle tell you what a great president we are going to have, the holidays may feel about as far from joyful as you can get. Luckily, this week’s Friday Five sends out a life raft for those of us drowning in holiday “cheer,” and provides us with some quick and easy ways to gain control of the madness in both our world and our minds.

The article helps you to identify what may be causing your anxiety and why. But don’t fret, once you’ve identified the triggers the article arms you with some sure fire strategies to help you make it to the new year relatively unscathed.

There are things in life you can control and things you can’t. This article, from HealYourLife.com (@HealYourLife), helps you distinguish between the two and then use this knowledge to build your “circle of control” where you focus your energy on the things you can manage. In doing so you protect yourself from outside stressors and create your own peace, from the inside out.
