We're wishing you and yours a warm and loving holiday season, from all of us here at Holistic Consultation! Happy Holidays!

12/23/2025

Is the holiday season stressing you out? When our fight or flight response is activated, we want calming and relaxing activities, preferably using all of our senses. This is when we want to slow our body’s responses. Give these a try:

• Deep breathing
• Meditation, other mindful activities (coloring, baking, cooking)
• Take a warm bath
• Smell relaxing scents (common examples are lavender and vanilla)
• Gentle stretches or Yoga
• Go on a slow walk
• Listen to soft/soothing music
• Listen to nature sounds
• Drink herbal tea
• Cuddle with pets
• Use weighted blankets (or just snuggle in a blanket)

There are plenty of lovely things about this season, but it can be a stressful time. It’s extra important to make time for self-kindness during times of stress. Being kind to yourself is the gift that keeps on giving. It helps in the middle of a stressful moment, and with practice, it can help you shift to a more accepting and compassionate mindset, especially toward yourself.

So, with the holidays just around the corner, here are some ways you can practice being kind to yourself this year: https://holisticconsultationllc.com/how-to-be-kind-to-yourself-during-the-holidays-2/

In this busy season of the year, and often the season of life, I frequently hear concerns about how to meet the needs of others. I encourage my clients to step back for a moment and ask themselves what they also need at this time.

So much pressure is placed on creating the “perfect” gathering, holiday or even finding the most “right” gift.

So much of the beauty in life comes from the imperfect moments which can become lasting memories and unexpected traditions.

Have you ever noticed patterns in your mental health around the seasons of the year? Taking the time to track your mental health can help you spot patterns like these so you can be better prepared to support yourself when things get hard.

Some people have found that their anxiety gets worse in the winter. If that’s the case for you, there are several reasons why. As you know, the days get shorter and darker as we head into the winter season. Not only that, but in lots of places (like here in Columbus), winter means cold, snow, and ice. It’s a harder season to get around in, which can lead to feeling cooped up or lonely.

So, why does winter cause more anxiety for certain people? Here are 3 reasons: https://holisticconsultationllc.com/3-reasons-why-winter-may-cause-more-anxiety-and-what-to-do-about-it/

While ineffective communication takes on many forms, noticing yourself or your partner doing some combination of behaviors from this list can be a sign communication is breaking down.

What precedes these five is often a feeling of not being heard or understood. When both you and your partner begin doing some combination of behaviors from the list above, it can be extremely difficult to find a mutually-satisfying resolution to a conversation.

So, what can you do about it?

One path forward is to take a breath, interrupt the urge to continue communicating your message, notice that not feeling heard or understood isn’t likely something you alone are feeling, and share with your partner a summary of what you understand from them.

“OK, it feels like we’re getting stuck and I just want to make sure I understand. It sounds like you’re feeling…”

Yes, this might be 180 degrees opposite from what your emotions are inviting you to do, but consider for a moment how disarming, and maybe even comforting, it might feel if your partner tried something like that with you. It might not be easy, but give it a try and notice what your partner does next.

No matter how you’re feeling going into this holiday season, you deserve to take some time to take care of your mental health. It’s easier to deal with high-pressure situations when you’re not feeling burned out or on edge yourself. Taking care of your mental health can actually be a great way to prioritize self-care at a time when you feel the need to people please. It can also give you built-in time to rest and rejuvenate, which is often sorely needed at the end of the year.

If you’re wondering how to take care of your mental health this holiday season, here are 5 of our favorite ways: https://holisticconsultationllc.com/5-ways-to-take-care-of-your-mental-health-at-the-holidays/
