The holiday season can be a time of joy, but it can also be a source of stress for many. From financial pressures to social obligations, the demands can feel overwhelming.
Experts recommend setting realistic expectations and prioritizing self-care to protect your mental health. Make time for activities that recharge you, whether it’s a brisk walk, meditation or catching up on sleep. Learn to say no to over-commitment and focus on what truly matters.
If loneliness or grief arises, connect with loved ones or seek support from a counselor. Remember, your well-being is the best gift you can give yourself.
