Fun as the holidays can be, they’re also a difficult time for many. But they don’t have to be. Here are five tips to help YOU maintain your mental health over the holidays:
1. Manage Your Expectations: Sometimes, what we expect isn’t what actually happens. You can feel different things over the holidays and that’s OK.
2. Be Kind to Yourself: The holidays are often stressful. If you feel like you’re overwhelmed, take a break and engage in a little self-care.
3. Have a Plan: If things start to feel a little extra, create a plan to fall back on. Reaching out to a friend or doing something you enjoy can work wonders if you’re feeling stressed.
4. Focus on Good Memories: If you’ve lost people close to you, the holidays can be hard. Try to recall fond memories of your loved ones.
5. Ask for Help: If you feel like there’s nowhere else to turn, you can always reach out for professional help. There’s no shame in it, and it could potentially mean finding a new perspective.
