11 Feng Shui Strategies To Reduce Stress During the Holidays
Does the thought of gathering with your family for the holidays make you stressed, overwhelmed, or cranky? The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy, love, and happy families. However, for many people, loneliness, obligation, and stress surface as the holiday season begins.
I have talked with several people who are feeling overwhelmed by preparing for the holidays and family gatherings this year. They are worried about having time to get everything done. The biggest worry is bringing the family together in one place at one time.
Recently, a client asked me for Feng Shui advice to make her holidays with family more enjoyable and less stressful.
