While the holiday season and end-of-year festivities can be fun, they can also be stressful and take a toll on your emotional well-being. Putting your emotional wellness on the backburner may cause mood changes and feelings of irritability, hopelessness, and isolation.
An American Psychological Association poll revealed that nearly 9 out of 10 Americans anticipate excessive stress during the holidays. Consider the following tips to help prioritize your emotional well-being during the holiday season:
- Practice healthy habits.
- Stick to a routine.
- Decrease caffeine and alcohol use.
- Maintain your boundaries.
- Incorporate positive activities.
- Recognize your holiday stress triggers and relievers.
It’s essential to stay in tune with your feelings and care for yourself. If you have concerns about your emotional well-being, contact a mental health professional or call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Helpline at 800-662-HELP (4357). Check out the latest Live Well, Work Well newsletter for more on prioritizing your well-being this season.
