Get organized
Consider using a planner, calendar, or other organizational
tool to help you keep track of what you have on
your plate. Having all your commitments laid out in front
of you can help reduce stress.
Organize your gift-giving, too! Make your list and check
it twice to save yourself stress down the road.
Remind yourself what the season is about.
It’s easy to give into the pressures of over-buying,
over-thinking, and over-extending ourselves. Prioritize
what matters to you and let the rest go without judgement
or shame.
Set boundaries to maintain
your mental health.
When we give too much of ourselves to others, we can
become stressed and resentful. Figure out what commitments,
gatherings or events feel good for you, and
brainstorm ways that you can protect your mental energy
when you’re doing them.
Practice good self-care.
It’s easy to neglect these things when there’s a lot on our
plate. But make sure you still:
• Move your body.
• Get fresh air.
• Eat health foods.
• Get enough sleep.
• Get enough light/Vitamin D.
• Avoid using substances to cope with your stress.
Let go of the nagging
“I should” feeling.
Just because others are doing certain holiday traditions,
doesn’t mean you should. There is no ‘should!’ Focus on
what feels good. It’s okay to skip things that don’t bring
your family joy, or even take a year off from a tradition.
Practice mindfulness.
Things like meditation, grounding exercises and deep
breathing can be helpful when you’re overwhelmed.
Stay connected to your
support networks.
Isolation and loneliness feeds anxiety, especially during
the holidays. Find ways to reach out to family, friends,
colleagues, faith-based communities, and social organizations.
