A: And moving onto money, because there’s another big issue on the holidays. You say it’s time to realign expectations, what do you mean by that?
B: I mean first of all you have to decide what really matters. And you know, again I advocate for the relationships, so if you’re stressed out about money, if you are overspending, if you are gonna put yourself into debt later, then you are going to be an anxious, grumpy mom that actually no one is gonna really wanna be around.
A: And when the credit card bill comes, we would be even grumpier in January.
B: Right. It would also stress your relationship and so you really need to make up a plan that’s reasonable for after the new year.
A: Exactly. A solid financial plan is what we all need.
B: Yeah, get a budget, and do something really simple like avoiding the holiday crowd and just shopping online. You can shop by price and a lot of retailers have special programs where you can get free gift wrap and free package and delivery. So it’s easy and cost-effective.
A: Some of the burden, some of the stress also with husbands and boyfriends, partners. Then how should we deal with it?
B: The important thing is to really share the burden. You know, the interesting thing is, actually, people like to be needed. If you say to your sister, " You know what, this year we are doing a potluck for Thanksgiving. Can you bring the sweet potatoes? Can you bring the dessert?" She’ll be more than happy to do that. People actually like to contribute and feel that they are part of things and they are needed. But women hate to ask. They feel like "that makes me less then, if I farm it out:" And actually it is really a mistake. And if you would ask, ask your spouse. "Hey, you take this part of shopping list and I will lake this part of shopping list." He’s actually gonna feel good. And it’s not dumping it. So you really should ask, you both will feel better.
A: And feeling better is another really key topic. We should really focus on our wellness, our health during the holiday, right?
B: Absolutely. During this stressful time, the health issues can become, you know, more prevalent. So you really need to make sure that you are eating right, you are getting enough rest and you are also listening to your body. And give yourself a little time out occasionally. You know, take time to meditate or just to focus on yourself. When people get anxious and stressed, they drink more during the holidays, they eat to satisfy their anxiety and they drink more alcohol, they go to more parties and they don’t feel good. So actually do other things to relieve your stress and be mindful of the overeating and the overdrinking.
A: Right! Dr. Daniel Burt-Murray, thanks so much.
B: Thank you.
