I know, I know I'm a little late for the 12 days of Christmas. There's actually only 6 left. However, no matter what your religious or cultural tradition, holidays can present additional stress. Additional family and financial dynamics are bound to present themselves around this time of year, so I wanted to encourage us all to take conscious steps toward a peaceful, worry-free season.
12. View the holiday season as an opportunity to improve your psychological well being.
11. Take time for yourself.
10. Look for opportunities to bless others.
9. Expect imperfection. Even the best laid plans for the perfect family gathering may not go the way you had hoped. Be flexible and resilient in the face of a burnt turkey or a late arriving guest.
8. Establish your priorities and set boundaries. Stay focused on what is most important and valuable to you during the holidays and keep those as priority.
7. Consider opting out of some events. Be selective with your time, energy, and finances. Choose only the events you really enjoy.
6. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.
5. Try something new. If the same old traditions bring you the same old negative outcomes, try starting a new tradition. Have the party at someone else’s house this year.
4. Don’t neglect your physical fitness.
3. Don’t isolate yourself.
2. Learn forgiveness and acceptance. If some of your relatives have always acted out or made you feel bad, chances are that won’t change. If you know what you’re getting into, it will be easier to not let them push your buttons.
1.Ask for help. If your holiday anxiety seems severe or is interfering with your job or home life, talk to a counselor. Contact me today at 602-741-2821 or email me at travis@travisdalecounseling.com.
