3 Easy Ways to
Manage Stress During
the Holidays and Beyond
‘Tis the season when rain is interspersed with falling snow, tiny tots have their eyes all aglow, and Santas are heard bellowing Ho Ho Ho.

For too many of us though, December becomes the month we engage in the sports of competitive parking, racing for diminished time, and watching passively as our waistlines increase and our wallets decrease in size.

It is often no different at work. In addition to our customary responsibilities we frequently load ourselves up with lofty end of the year goals before we can retire the year and bring in the next.

Have you ever had the thought that you could be enjoying this season more? Do you find that the stress of it all seems to get in the way of just being- enjoying your family, friends, and the sights, sounds and smells of the season?

Kitsap's Challenges are Opportunities as 2023 Approaches
Published in the Kitsap Sun, December 9, 2022

Guest columnist, Cary Bozeman, is a Port of Bremerton Commissioner, former mayor of Bremerton and a current member of the Greater Kitsap Chamber Board of Directors.

As we prepare to enter 2023 Kitsap County and its four cities will be facing challenges and opportunities because of the continued growth of our community. Every indication is that our population will grow, new businesses will be started, our Naval bases will have new projects and will hire more people, and political and private leadership will be called on to make good decisions that will support this new growth while protecting the quality of life we all have come to love about living in Kitsap County.
