Avoiding the Holiday Blues
The holidays bring expectations of togetherness, harmony and celebration, but they are sometimes filled with stress, conflict and disappointment for families. At Sweetser, we find that families weather the holidays better when they work together in creating realistic expectations about what’s possible in terms of time and money. Together, you can prioritize what is most important, placing family before material things. Also, consider limiting the number of holiday gatherings you attend and don’t feel obligated to meet everyone’s expectations. Other ways to cope include pacing yourself, eating right, getting plenty of sleep, exercising regularly, making a budget (and sticking with it) and spending time with people who care about you.
