Develop coping mechanisms beforehand. Create a game plan: Decide what you will eat, drink, and how you will handle difficult interactions before heading home. Write down your plan for better accountability. Focus on your goals: Remember your ultimate intention - a peaceful and enjoyable holiday season. Don't be swayed by temptations or drawn into unnecessary drama. Control your own mind: You cannot control others, but you can control your own reactions and mental space.Choose to think the way you want
