This post is a sort of menu (list) of action options that will help you to reduce stress and better navigate your relationship with food during the holidays. Pick and choose what you need. First, I will give overall strategies that include reflections upon last year, using your calendar, and exploring your expectations and desires. Second, I will discuss practical tips for holiday food situations. Last, I will delve into the psychological realm and suggest some strategies for self-care and handling those “special” people you might encounter at this time of year.
