The holiday season can be a hectic time of year. We’ve gathered five ways to help you de-stress for less…continue reading to get started!

Create a relaxation space. This should be a place that is quiet and void of distractions. If a spare bedroom isn’t available, look for a place you can convert, such as an attic or walk-in closet. Keep your space clear of clutter, and include things that bring you comfort such as a journal or music.

Get organized. Clutter could be contributing to your stress. Take a few minutes to organize your work area and living space. If your finances could use a bit of organization as well, take advantage of SeaComm’s digital platforms, NetTeller™ and Mobile Branch for quick and easy access to your accounts.

Sip some green tea. Green tea is a great source of L-Theanine, which is a chemical that helps relieve anger and frustration. When you feel stressed, sit back and enjoy a cup!

Try meditation. Five minutes of peace and quiet is all it takes to reap the benefits of meditation. Find a comfortable, quiet place and focus on your breath as you feel your anxieties start to disappear. Click here for more meditation tips.
