Prioritize Your Mental Health This Holiday Season đź’›
The holidays can be joyful, but they can also be stressful, overwhelming, or emotionally heavy. Here are some practical ways to take care of your mental health:
• Set Boundaries: It’s okay to say no to events, tasks, or spending that feel too much. Protecting your time and energy is a form of self-care.
• Maintain Routines: Try to keep up with regular sleep, exercise, and meal schedules. Even small routines can help you feel grounded amid the holiday chaos.
• Manage Expectations: Let go of the idea of a “perfect” holiday. Focus on what really matters to you, rather than comparing your celebrations to others.
• Practice Self-Compassion: Acknowledge your emotions without judgment. It’s okay to feel happy, sad, or even both at the same time. Give yourself grace.
• Stay Connected: Spend time with supportive friends or family. Connection is key to feeling grounded and cared for.
Remember, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or anxious during the holidays—and seeking help is a sign of strength. If your stress or sadness feels too heavy, professional support is available. Call or text 988 anytime.
You are not alone. đź’›
