"Has anyone ever tried taking herbs? I've been thinking about taking Ginko Baloba but I don't know if it would be harmful. What have you tried and what works? Herbs for fatigue, energy, memory, and anything that makes you feel better would be great. Thanks!"

  1. Practice MANY Random Acts of Kindness.
  2. Smile (or make a funny face) at yourself in the mirror every morning before leaving the house.
  3. When nobody else is home, crank some holiday tunes on the stereo and sing and dance with reckless abandon.
  4. Take a hot bath with lots of candles around (trust me guys, this is one luxury that isn't just for girls!).
  5. Exercise and stretch, even if it is only running on the spot and doing some lunges for 10 minutes before bed.
  6. Watch a few of those classic holiday specials, they are cute and funny and sure to remind you of your own wonder years.
  7. Use the internet to learn about the winter celebrations of religions other than your own.
  8. Find a safe teen cyberhood (we like Teen Advice) and post your holiday vents to get them out of your system.
  9. Get lots of rest to avoid catching a cold or the flu.
  10. Make a point of phrasing everything in a positive light, even your gripes (for example: rather than saying "I hate eating stuffing and brussel sprouts make me gag!" say, "There are so many great things to choose from that I think I'll start with my absolute faves and then see if my tummy wants more!")
