Managing Your Stress During the Holidays and Beyond: Tip #19 – Give the “Grinch” a Time-Out

If the words “you’re a mean one” come at you this holiday season, it might be time to take a time-out. It’s true. Even the nicest and calmest of us can get a little grumpy during the holidays. But instead of giving into your inner Grinch, give yourself a break instead. Taking time away from a stressful situation can give you some clarity and let you choose your words and actions with a clear head. And maybe give your heart a chance to grow back to its normal, loving size.
