Coping with Christmas Stress #1

We put so much pressure on ourselves at Christmas with the organising and usually giving ourselves extra jobs around the house to make it the 'perfect' Christmas.

It’s the Internal demands you make upon yourself such as, 'I must be the perfect organiser', or 'Everybody must enjoy themselves'.

Try to take a more flexible approach for less stress if things don’t quite go to plan! e.g. 'I'll just do my best to organise events within the time and resources I have, no more no less' or 'I'm not responsible for other peoples' enjoyment. They are responsible too'.
