Dear Subscriber,

It may be a time to give thanks, but for many, this time of year also means a time of increased stress. Did you snap at someone today? Did you hit the gas to beat the yellow light? Or maybe someone cut you off or trampled you in line. Our package of holiday stress busters can help you reclaim inner peace, whether it's identifying trigger points or figuring out which functions you can turn down this year.

Thanks for subscribing.

Sincerely,

The staff at MayoClinic.com
