It’s called “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many people,the holidays aren’t joy-filled. In fact, this time of year can be extra tough in many ways.
The holidays can amplify existing issues, likeloneliness. They create a lot of stress, including financial strain, for many people. Sprinkle in some family tension,grief, and end-of-the-year deadlines, and it’s a recipe for higher rates of distress.
Fortunately, there are several things you can do to stay mentally strong throughout the holidays.
Remember that staying strong doesn’t mean pasting on a smile and ignoring your distress. It means taking care of your feelings, setting healthy boundaries, and reframing those unhelpful thoughts.
You might find a balance this year between reducing your problems and reducing your distress. That may mean a combination of attending fewer events, setting helpful boundaries, and reaching for healthy coping skills.
