HOLIDAY & TRAVEL SURVIVAL
STRATEGIES
Expert tips and tactics for staying
healthy, sane, safe, relaxed, and stress-free as you negotiate personal and
business holiday travel and enjoy at-home downtime. All the strategies and resources you
need. Plus some thoughts from The Wellness Concierge® on how to
kick back and truly enjoy
precious end-of-year time with friends and family.
SURVIVING
HOLIDAY TRAVEL, PART 1:
On-the-Road Strategies
Much of the stress and strain
of holiday travel—whether you’re headed out for business, pleasure,
or a bit of both—is self-imposed. Here are
some strategies
and suggestions to help you thrive—as
well as survive—no matter where
the road takes you this month.
SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS, PART 2:
Self-Care

Personal Safety & Security

Physical Health •
Emotional Well-Being
Your Physical and
Emotional Rx for the Holidays, On and Off the Road
December brings a
whirl of activity on and off the road as we celebrate the
end-of-year holidays. Unfortunately, it’s also the time of year when
we’re more vulnerable and at greater risk—for injury, physical
illness, and emotional turmoil.
In a season known more for self-indulgence than self-restraint,
it’s time for a
good dose of
self-care. Here’s my take on what you can do to fully enjoy
yourself—at home and on the go—during the holidays.

for your hard work this year.

Charity begins at home. So don't overlook local charitable organizations
that need a
donation of your time, dollars, apparel, household items, or food to
help others enjoy the season. And if you really want to make a
difference for many, consider a donation to a health/medical
organization or association that funds research and provides consumer
education and resources.
Want others to share the rewards of your
travels? Donate your miles (via your airlines FF program or at
MileDonor.com) to individuals,
charities, or America's military.
Resources:
• Charities Review
Council: How to
be an Informed Donor
•
Vet a charity using
reports provided
by the Better Business Bureau at Giving.org
• Review possible organizations using the Charity directory at
CharityWire.com
• CharityNavigator.com,
an independent charity evaluator, includes articles, news, and a
searchable database (by category, region, or keyword) and
alphabetical directory.

TAKE A BREAK
WITH...BOOKS & DVDS
The Wellness Concierge Recommends®
Books and DVDs
for the Road and Home
Coming December 24, 2003
Need a break from
the holiday madness? Killing time at the airport? Seeking
distraction or refuge in a noisy, crowded
airplane? Can't get to the local multiplex to see the holiday
blockbusters? Whether you're cozy and comfy at home or cramped and crunched
(sigh) in an airplane, bus, or railroad seat, here
are my suggestions for entertaining, thought-provoking, and
absorbing books and DVDs.
