Welcome... Our InnerSelf welcomes your Inner Self. There are times when we might want to scream "Stop the world, I want to get off!" And perhaps the holiday season is a time when that feeling can be overwhelming. So many things to do, places to go, people to see... This week we bring you articles to alleviate the stress of the season. And while some of the articles are directed to this particular time of year, the advice and recommendations apply to any stressful time of life. Jude Bijou counsels How to Thrive Rather than Just Survive the Holiday Season while other articles focus on eating and weight-related challenges during the festivities. (Is Your Holiday Overeating Linked to Nostalgia? and Will You Gain Weight This Christmas?) Perhaps the most important thing for us to do in any stressful situation is to Keep the Love Vibration Strong and Believe You Can Create a Joyful Solution. And for those who reside in the cold northern climate, Nora Caron shares her methods of Staying Joyful during the Cold Seasons.
Scroll down for links to numerous additional articles this week, ranging on topics from aging, generosity, binge watching, climate, politics, and much more.

The holidays bring with them an abundance of festivities centered around eating and drinking.
