With the holidays on our heels some of us are feeling the shopping stress a bit more than others. For those of us who are working to quit smoking, the holidays can be especially challenging. Use these tips to help you manage holiday stress smoke-free:
- Drink Water
Keep yourself well-hydrated and you’ll feel better in general, which will in turn help you manage holiday stress more easily.
- Reduce Caffeine
Too much caffeine can leave us feeling jittery and stressed. Avoid extra cups of coffee or energy drinks to stay awake. Rest if you’re tired.
- Go For A Walk
When the urge to smoke strikes, head out for a quick walk around the block.
