National Blog Posting Month

National Stress Øut Week

In honor of National Stress Øut Week, a week-long awareness campaign sponsored by the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) to encourage people to take time to de-stress and to discover the differences between everyday stress and an anxiety disorder, we are looking for ideas to help make Thanksgiving less stressful.

If you would like to share some ideas for de-stressing the holiday or if you have some soothing activity suggestions for yourself and/or your child, we would love to hear them. Comment here or visit our Blog.

We will post these suggestions and appropriate links throughout the week.

Cheers, Elizabeth

The only suggestion I have for de-stressing the holiday is to find a way to get yourself invited to somebody else's house, LOL!

In all seriousness, Thanksgiving, in my mind, is a holiday where preparations should be shared. Why not make your feast a potluck affair? Or assign a side-dish to anyone who is coming. If all you have to do is make the turkey, and your guests can take care of everything else, not only will it be less stressful for you, but you'll be building a sense of family and community in the kitchen as everyone gets involved.
