This episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce is sponspored by Better Help. Give online therapy a try at http://www.betterhelp.com/notsuck and get on your way to being your best self.

We want to help you survive the next few weeks. The holiday season is a stressful time, in the BEST of situations. But if you're also navigating a divorce or considering divorce, then you're managing and extra set of stress and unhappiness that's likely making the next few weeks a really tough time. 

Here's how we can help.  Here are 6 pro tips from Morgan and Andrea. You ready for them? Let's go!

1. Set some realistic expectations. Surprises make for more unhappiness.
2. Keep busy. 
3. Prep your family on how to handle themselves around you (tell Aunt Beatrice to not ask you questions)  and possibly your ex.
4. Watch the cheesy holiday movies, we're talking the REALLY cheesy ones, Hallmark channel style. Nothing bad happens in these movies and it makes for great background noise
5. Just say no to parties you don't want to attend. Nobody really cares. 
6. Move your body. It's so damn important. If it's really cold where you live, walk around the mall, or even around a Target.
