The holiday season is supposed to be “the most wonderful time of the year,” full of family and celebration and tradition. Sadly, for many of us, the holidays can also bring unwanted stress and unhealthy habits as we juggle work, family and money obligations.
This year, instead of tearing your hair out while you try to manage your holiday budget, coordinate family gatherings and stay in festive spirits, turn to journaling to keep you calm during even the most hectic moments.
Create Write Now’s new e-book, Help for the Holidays: 7 Days of Journaling to Ho! Ho! Ho! is designed to support you through your own personal highs and lows during the holiday season.
How to Use the Help for the Holidays Journaling Workbook
Set the goal of completing the book over the course of a week, putting aside about an hour a day for each of the seven chapters. Each chapter has its own theme and specific journaling exercises that help you identify stress triggers and create a plan to overcome your individual challenges.
