The holidays can be a busy and overwhelming time, but with a little preparation and mindfulness, you can keep stress at bay. Here are a few ways to navigate the season with ease:

✅ Get Organized Early
Plan ahead for travel, events, and budgets to avoid last-minute chaos.
✅ Slow Down
Take a deep breath and tackle your to-do list one step at a time—rushing only adds to stress.
✅ Say "No" When Needed
Prioritize your well-being by setting boundaries. It's okay to decline extra commitments.
✅ Avoid Comparisons
Focus on what matters most—spending quality time with loved ones, not creating a "perfect" holiday.
✅ Take Care of Yourself
Stay active, eat well, and get enough sleep. Address any aches and pains before they slow you down - physical therapy can help!

How do you stay stress-free during the holidays? Share your tips below!

This Veterans Day, we offer our deepest gratitude to the brave and dedicated individuals who have made tremendous sacrifices to protect our country's freedom and independence.

We are committed to supporting active or retired military personnel and their families through our Upstream Pillars With Purpose Benevolent Fund for Military Personnel & Family Care. This initiative makes grants to charities that provide education, physical and mental therapy, and the basic living needs of military personnel and those who care for them. We also support transitional services that aid veterans as they return to their communities.

Just recently, we granted $5,000 to Operation Finally Home - a nonprofit that brings together homebuilders, remodelers, developers, the military, and communities to build custom, mortgage-free homes for America's heroes and their families.
