TIPS TO AVOID holiday 🎄 STRESS! from our Registered Psychologist Micheal White! Lotus Tree Wellness & Healing
#holidaystress#mentalhealth
1. Make a plan. Create a list of the things you want to do over the Christmas season such as baking, events, decorating, etc. Don’t commit yourself to too much.
2. Take time for yourself. Allow yourself time to relax and enjoy simple things like games or puzzles with your immediate family, reading a book, or watching a movie.
3. Make a budget for your gift giving and stick to it.
4. Get outside for some fresh air.
5. If you are feeling down or isolated reach out for support from a friend, spiritual support person, or professional help.
6. Understand that it’s OK to say no to things. You don’t have to visit every one or eat/drink everything offered. In fact, it’s OK to use COVID-19 as an excuse this year to not visit some people you feel you “have” to visit.
