The holidays bring connection, celebration, and joy. They also bring more noise, more decisions, and fewer moments to pause.
When life speeds up, your brain works harder to keep up. Feeling mentally drained during busy seasons is not a personal failure. It is a natural response to increased stimulation and constant demands on your attention.
Learning how your brain and nervous system respond to stress can help you move through the holidays with more awareness and self-compassion. Small, intentional adjustments can make a meaningful difference in how you feel day to day.
If the season feels heavier than expected, Foothills Psychiatric Services is here to support you with compassionate, professional care. Call 480-608-4877 or visit www.foothillspsychservices.com to learn more.
