Part 3/6:
Slow Down and Plan: Taking the time to plan holiday activities can help mitigate stress. A more organized approach can create a sense of calm amid the festivities.
Cultivate Gratitude: Focusing on appreciation for family and friends not only elevates mood but can foster a more positive outlook towards the season.
Avoid Cold Weather Risks: For those living in colder regions, Dr. Crandall warns that exposure to the cold can lead to serious health issues, including heart attacks due to arterial spasms and blood clots. Older individuals are especially encouraged to seek help from younger family members for tasks such as shoveling snow.
