In today's world of two-earner households, 1.87 children, and a myriad of obligations and scheduled activities, the average American's plate is already brimming with more than a fair share of time-draining responsibilities. An American Psychological Association (APA) 2007 poll shows that "one-third of Americans are living with extreme stress and nearly half of Americans (48 percent) believe that their stress has increased over the past five years."

It's no wonder then that the holiday season -- with its merry "To Do" list -- can lead us to a state of "extreme difficulty, pressure, or strain:" The American Heritage Dictionary's apt definition of "stress."

Take actions now to reduce stress levels this season and even put the "Happy" back in your "Holidays."
