Holidays can trigger a range of emotions – sadness, stress, excitement and more. Taking care of yourself during the busy season can help make sure these emotions don’t become overwhelming.
Five tips for looking after yourself:
- Plan something special to treat yourself or contact a friend and set a date, time and place to catch up outside of the Christmas rush
- If you are feeling lonely, volunteer to help serve Christmas Day lunch with a charitable organisation
- Attend community celebrations. Contact your local council for details of events. Make sure you follow social distancing rules and other COVID-19 restrictions that are in place
- Make a list of things you are thankful for and all of the positive things in your life
- Keep things simple and prepare in advance – slow and steady wins the race
