5 Tips to Make the Holidays Light

·

1. Keep the conversation light.
Right now websites like Reddit.com are compiling lists of good things. Give yourself and everyone else a break from politics. Need a fun distraction? Google “babies laughing” and share the delight by showing the videos to others.

2. Eating ​light.
You are in control of what goes into your body. You don’t have to explain or justify eating or not eating something. A warm, “No thank you” should suffice. ​If it doesn’t, it’s not about you.

3. Light up someone’s day.

A compliment is sure to brighten even the surliest person’s day.

4. Take in the light.
If it’s sunny, go outside. Take a walk by yourself to clear your head, or invite friends or family.


5. Be the light.

Sing in the shower​, dance to your favorite music in the living room. Be as goofy and silly as you need to be to get to a joyful place.
