Put together a holiday playlist with some of your favourite tunes. Music is a great way to help you relax. A quote by Plato really captures the power of music, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, and life to everything.” Take time to enjoy some music over the holidays.
Maybe a family colouring night is in the books this year. Colouring is a great way to de-stress and bring out your creativity. There are colouring books in numerous styles, making it easier to find one that suits each member of the family. As well, there are many sites which offer free printable pages such as: http://www.crayola.ca/free-coloring-pages/ ; http://www.supercoloring.com/ ; and http://www.canadianfamily.ca/colouring-pages/ . Dig out some pencil crayons, crayons or markers and have some fun colouring!
