Minimize Your Holiday Season Anxiety
Friday, December 19th, 2008Well, the holiday season is upon us once again and I hope wherever you are, you and your family have a great time– with a minimum of stress and anxiety!
I don’t think I’m giving away any big secret by saying that many people find the holiday family get-togethers stressful. And in the past, we’ve talked about ways to minimize the anxiety that is sometimes inherent in these situations.
If you’re one of the many people who find the holidays stressful, it can be comforting to realize that you’re not alone. And whatever you do, DO NOT blame yourself about it. Many, many people find the holidays a bit tough to deal with.
My advice is to keep in mind that these holiday get-togethers usually only last a couple of days, and then it’s back to “real life.” And if all else fails, have a little holiday drink to help you relax — just don’t go too far with it. Family get-togethers can quickly turn into a nightmare when too much alcohol is added into the mix, increasing the general level of anxiety for everyone.
Like most things in life, a little bit of “holiday cheer” is a good thing, but too much is worse than none at all!
Happy Holidays from all of us here at EasyCalm!
