Christmas Stocking Stuffers

One Christmas tradition that many of us enjoy is having Christmas stockings filled with small surprises. Stocking stuffers come in many shapes and sizes and can cost every little or a whole lot.

On your stocking stuffer list for Santa Claus you may choose to ask for a different kind of present. A gift from Santa that incorporates a series of suggestions for a healthier life style.

Here are several valuable stocking stuffers:

The gift of having balance in your life. Avoiding extremes and choosing moderation.

The gift of finding a job, career, and vocation in life that you truly enjoy.

The gift of learning to relax, being able to calm down, reduce tension and “chill out” when you chose to do so.

The gift of enjoying healthy relationships with those around you. Your spouse, your friends and family, and your co-workers.

The gift of being able to keep life simple. Complexity in life is a chief source of stress for many people.

The gift of learning to deal with disappointment. Being able to view less than favorable outcomes as opportunities to learn from rather than failures is a big asset.

The gift of making spiritual support a significant part of dealing with stressors in life.

The gift of maintaining a healthy life style including diet, exercise, and enough sleep.

The gift of dealing with the need to control.

It is obvious that there is a lot of overlap between these gifts and in the presence or absence of one gift can determine the value of the other gifts.
