The most wonderful time of the year  (the  Christmas  season) is  also the most  stressful  for lots   of  people   struggling   to   fit   in   increased   end-of-the-year   workloads,   holiday   parties, shopping,  guest  hosting,  travel,  and  seeing  friends  and  relatives  who  you'd  otherwise  avoid.
Luckily,  the  same  coping  mechanisms  that  can  help  relieve  stress  and  find  better  balance during the year also work for this holiday.
Here are four tips to finding work-life balance during this season.
1.Know  and  avoid  your  stressors.
If cooking for a large group, baking cookies, or Christmas shopping are your key stressors, don't do them. Lots of grocery stores will help cater your next holiday meal. Bakeries exist for   a reason,  and  gift  cards  are much  appreciated by  all.  Stop trying to  live up to  someone  else's expectations of the holidays and stay merry by outsourcing the pain points.
2. Get flexible at work.
If you normally travel an hour each way at work, see if your boss will let you work from home in this special season to save time, get more done, and reduce your stress. Or ask if you can start work from home in the mornings and come to the office later in the day to avoid peak
hours.Leave early and finish your day from the comfort of home, too.
3. Make your own list and check it twice.
Make a to-do list for yourself, for both work and life, then divide it up into categories like "must  do","want  to  do",  and  "feel  obligated  to  do."If  you  can  remove  any  or  all  of  your required list, the rest of your to-dos will start to look a lot easier.
Once you have your  lists  in  order,  it's time to  start  crossing things  off.  In between your must-dos tasks, include a want-to-do task to break things up and re-energize yourself. Yes, this holiday  is  a  time  to  give  back  to  others  and  be  selfless,  but  there's  still  a  bit  of"self”in selflessness,  isn't  there?
4. If you start to feel a cold coming on, come to a full and complete stop.
The best way to stop a cold from exploding into a weeks-long sickness is to stop it at the start. Unless a task or activity is an absolute necessity, cancel your plans, put away your to-do lists, and  settle  in  for  a  long  winter's  nap.  A  day  of rest  and  enough  sleep  is  the  only  thing  you NEED  right  now.  Feel  bad  about  declining  holiday  invitations  from  your  friends  and  family? You're  doing  them  a  favor.  Once  people  hear  that  you're  sick,  they'll  be  glad  you  stayed away—they don't want to come down with a cold during the holiday any more than you do!
It is certain that you can feel less stressed in this hectic season when you stop expecting so much  from yourself, because nobody puts  so much  expectation  on you  as you  do to yourself. Trying  to  satisfy  clients,  co-workers,  friends  and  family  can  be  draining  and  can  finally negatively impact you in many ways. When you simplify things up front, you relieve the stress ff of yourself and everyone else in the process. Stop focusing on what you feel like you're obligated to do, and start focusing on what you want and need to do, the load will get lighter and you will feel a lot merrier under the Christmas tree.
