As we hustle from holiday activity to holiday activity, it&#8217;s essential that we remember to slow down, manage stress, and take time to care for ourselves. Here are some helpful hints to manage stress during the holiday season as we head into the new year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t lose sight of what really counts. What matters most differs from person to person. Identify your priorities and goals and focus on the things that help you fulfill those goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-2.jpg 730w, https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Respond with kindness. It is no secret that the world has been under a lot of stress these last two years. It is easy to get wrapped up in our own lives and forget the struggles others may be going through. Even when you feel stressed or encounter individuals who may be grumpy, try to take a step back and respond with kindness. Kind words and a genuine smile go a long way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-3.jpg 730w, https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Remember, it&#8217;s OK to do less. It is OK if you don&#8217;t cross everything off your &#8220;to do&#8221; list. Everything will be OK! Taking time to breathe and relax is very important and should be at the top of your &#8220;to-do&#8221; list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-4.jpg 730w, https:\/\/canyonviewmedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/HolidayCheer-4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Accept imperfections.
