We can all agree that the holidays are a wonderful time of the year, however, they manage to simultaneously be the most stressful time as well. It’s important to check on yourself often in order to avoid being overwhelmed by everything that’s going on.
Here’s how to keep your emotions in check during the holiday season.
Routines
A routine can help you get through the day even when you’re not feeling your best. This is equally important for routines that keep you productive and help you get work done and for routines that make you feel good.
Recharge
Taking some time to relax and recharge is crucial and you shouldn’t feel bad for doing it. It’s not selfish; it’s necessary, especially after spending a few days with extended family.
Happy Place
There’s got to be something you genuinely love about the holidays – focus on that. Whether it’s a beautifully decorated Christmas tree in your living room or an evening spent with family, give yourself permission to enjoy it and put everything else on pause.
