#1. Lower your expectations. Today’s media and commercial world portray a holiday season that would break the bank of most working people. Even the idealistic holiday depicted in favorite movie classics are well…just a fantasy. Unless you’ve got pockets as deep as a celebrity, don’t expect so much from the holiday season.

#2. Keep it simple. Going into debt to try to have the perfect holiday is probably one of the biggest stressors people face during this time of year. By not letting the pressures of the media or people around you dictate what your holidays should be like, you can design the perfect holiday season for your family that fits your beliefs and your budget.

#3. Be organized. Lessen anxiety by accomplishing your tasks using lists, and sticking to a reasonable and comfortable budget. You can start checking “to-dos” off your list early, time your shopping to hit sales, and get ready for guests well ahead of time. For example, getting your carpets professionally cleaned by yours truly.

#4. Focus on what really counts. When it’s all said and done it’s the people and experiences you have that make your life rich. Fill your life with beautiful moments and focus on being with the ones you love. This strategy will combat both stress and depression.

#5. Take a moment to breathe. Be sure to take time to slow down and be present during this busy time. Live in the moment and don’t worry about tomorrow. Some people find that reading a good book or taking quiet meditative moments can help them relax and not stress.

#6. Seek professional help when needed. If you really find yourself spiraling out of control with stress and/or depression, seek professional help. There are many qualified people to help navigate through stressful times.

Whether or not you celebrate holidays these are great reminders for managing stress and focusing on what really matters. The holiday season is supposed to be a time of cheer; I hope yours is a great time, no matter what you do.

Indulge In One Too Many Holiday Meals?Here Are Some Easy Fixes To Get Back On Track…

“The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.” – Lee Iacocca, American Businessman and father of the Ford Mustang

“So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.” – Helen Keller, American activist and author

#1 Let go of an “all or nothing” mentality. Often it’s this “all or nothing” attitude that leads to a

further binges and more weight gain. Remember one meal does not make or break your diet, nor does one day. So accept you indulged, let it go, and start fresh at your next meal.

#2 Try yoga for your digestion and bloat. There are many people who claim that various yoga

poses will benefit your digestion after a dietary transgression. So put those stretchy pants to use with a nice after dinner series of stretching and yoga.

#3 Take a walk. Instead of wallowing in your bloat, get up and move. Grab the family and

head out for some fresh air and movement. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy, not even brisk, just walk, move, and breathe.

#4 Have a drink. And not the alcoholic kind….there are many soothing herbal teas that

can aide digestion and bloat. Also, many people swear by sipping on a “tea” made from lemon juice, raw apple cider vinegar, and honey. And there nothing like drinking pure water for a nice feeling of a system flush.

If you find yourself on a holiday binge then don’t beat yourself up, you’re in good company! It has been purported that the average holiday weight gain is anywhere from 5-7 pounds. (approx. 2.5 kilograms)

Here are some easy tips for recovering from a holiday overindulgence …

Have fun and enjoy your indulgences!Disclaimer: These are just suggestions, I’m not a doctor or health specialist.

#1: Travel light. This will keep down the cost of checked bags, the hassles of lines, and the risk of lost luggage. If you’re really efficient you can pack your whole trip into a carry-on and your life will be oh so much easier at the airport. Just be sure all your toiletries and personal items comply with the latest TSA requirements. It’s worth checking out www.tsa.gov before you travel to make sure all your travel details are compliant.

#2: Be sure you have your proper ID. This one gets a lot of people into trouble at those crazy busy airports or cruise ports. By simply checking with the airline, the cruise line, or on the TSA website you can be sure you have all the proper ID for wherever you are going.

#3: Get connected. With all the awesome travel Apps available today you can check on flight status, find hotels, book a trip, and review local restaurants and attractions all from the palm of your hand. Some of the best Apps to check out are: Google flights, Expedia, Kayak, Yelp!, Gogobot, and Tripadvisor.

#4: Bring food. After all, there is nothing worse than dealing with long lines and missed connections than dealing with it while you’re “hangry”! (That’s a word mashup of “hungry” and “angry” in case you missed that cute commercial with Tina Fey.) So, pack your bags with plenty of healthy, delicious, blood sugar stabilizing munchies. But again make sure they are all TSA compliant.

#5: Stay Zen. Sometimes that’s really all you can do. In reality, you have no control over a winter storm that cancels hundreds of flights, or if the person in front of you is

totally disorganized and holding up the line. If it’s stressful and everything is going wrong, just “choose it”. Accept it for what it is, take a deep breath, and stay in the moment. And always be kind to those around you and the

airport employees, after all, you are making memories.

If you are like millions of people that travel during the holiday season, then you know what it’s like, the overcrowded airports, the long lines, the cancelled flights, the winter storms that can derail the best laid vacation plans. But, in spite of the holiday travel hardships, you go again and again, because it’s all worth it in the end to have some fun and build memories with the people you love. Maybe these travel tips will help ease the woes that can come with holiday travel…

Irrigation pipe was damaged and water was leaking into basement bathroom/

basement closet. Amerestore came out the day damage was identified and began the clean up process. Dried carpet and assessed damage in

bathroom. They quarterbacked the entire process along side my insurance company (the 1000$ price

was my deductible) and coordinated all of the remaining repairs (vanity fix, dry out process, carpet

cleaning). Very professional and they kept things moving to ensure a speedy fix.

I had a coupon to use, otherwise I most likely would not have had the

carpets cleaned in the middle of the winter season leaving the doors open for their hoses. They were offering this deal as this is obviously the slower season for them. They accommodated for the colder weather by having an air blocking barrier at the

door frame so all my heat wouldn’t go out!

Diane M.

They went above and beyond! I couldn’t believe they showed up to our house at 9:00pm on a Saturday night to help us after our garage ceiling fell through. Their professionalism & knowledge of what to do

won us over & totally put our minds @ ease! We couldn’t be happier with the job they did.
