Holiday Stress & How to Deal

Image
Thanksgiving and Christmas are on the horizon, and this can elicit all sorts of feelings of joy and merriment, but there is a HUGE part of the population who will breakdown into a nervous sweat when they see a Christmas countdown. The term is actually called “Festive stress” and it’s a real epidemic. In fact, there are studies showing that 31 percent of Americans describe the holidays as frantic. The turning point between mild stress and severe stress happens on December 18th, and it peaks until Christmas day around 2:05 - generally the time that families sit down for dinner. If the holidays bring you an enormous amount of anxiety, stress, and for many, even depression, now is the time to start your holiday regime and find ways to cope with the pressure of the season.

Making a Difference In Your Health

Image
When making a difference in your health, it doesn’t mean you have to tackle all of the hard things all at the same time. It means that you take one aspect, make some changes, enjoy the difference, and the do the same in another area of life. At Absolute Wellness Center , we join so many people on their health journey, and we see the difference that they are making through daily steps in a more positive direction.

Planning for a Healthy Halloween

Image
It won’t be long before the holiday season kicks off with the most sugary one of them all - Halloween. This holiday is a fun way to get dressed up, get involved in the community, and to collect candy! However, all of this sugar can be detrimental if binged on too much. If you want to have a healthy Halloween this year, here are a few tips to help make it possible - whether you are the trick or treater, the party host, or the stay at home type. Halloween For the Trick-Or-Treater Eat Dinner First. Take some time before running out to the next trick or treat event to fill up on a healthy meal.
