How to Minimize Holiday Stress by Giving Back to Others
This post about giving back to reduce holiday stress is sponsored by ReadyRefresh℠ by Nestlé®. All opinions are my own.
The holidays are fast approaching and that means pretty soon holiday stress will be upon us as well. If you have already started stressing over the holidays, don't worry because I am here to help!
Being prepared for the holidays is one of the most important ways to stress less and giving back during the holidays is a simple way to relieve stress.
Helping others, giving back and spreading cheer is one way you can relieve stress during the holidays.
It makes you feel good when you know you’ve cheered someone up or helped someone else. Being in the presence of other people and showing them your appreciation, even in small ways, can help you get more perspective during the holiday craze, too.
Giving Back During the Holiday Season
One of our favorite ways to give back during the holiday season is to spread holiday cheer with baked goods.
We like to bake and decorate sugar cookies for the holidays because they allow our creativity to flourish. There are so many shapes, sizes, colors and styles to come up with and it makes holiday baking all the more fun.
Whenever my sister is whipping up her special batch of sugar cookies, we make sure to have extras to pass out to our local officers, firemen, teachers and even our favorite coffee baristas! It's such a simple way to give back and it easily brightens up someone's day.
Another way to stress less is to be prepared during the holiday season. Whether you are hosting an event for your business, a huge dinner for your family, or even a party for your friends, the last thing you want to worry about is running out of your supply of beverage options.
You can keep your family’s healthy hydration on track during the holiday season with a constant supply of beverage options you and your family love with ReadyRefresh℠ by Nestlé®.

With some help from ReadyRefresh, Vera Sweeney from Lady and the Blog embraced the holiday spirit this season with a small act of kindness for her neighbor.
ReadyRefresh is a customizable beverage delivery service that provides your family with a variety of purified water, teas, and imported water varieties, including Ice Mountain® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water (both still and sparkling).

ReadyRefresh believes that your hydration should never depend on the inconvenience of restocking your bottled water supply. Having your favorite bottled water on hand during the stressful holiday season keeps you in control of what you and your family drink, and when.
Planning out your beverage supply in advance is a great way to reduce some of the stress that goes into spending the holidays with your family and friends.
You can have the option of setting up a recurring delivery service once a week, once a month, or even just one time.
Regardless of how often you schedule it, having your beverage supply delivered to you is one less thing you have to worry about when planning your event.
The holidays are about spending time with loved ones and when you’re stressed out about planning the perfect event, it can ruin the moment.
Giving back and helping others is one way you can relieve your stress and planning ahead of time is another way you can make sure your holiday events run as smoothly as possible.
