Avoid the holiday blues
Unfortunately while the holiday season is a time of happiness for many, for some it’s a time of depression and anxiety. There are many reasons for this ranging from stress, tensions with family members, financial challenges, and loneliness.
Understanding this is important not only for avoiding it in yourself, but in helping others who might feel depressed, without you being aware of it.
To avoid depression in yourself, don’t overextend yourself, avoid any perfectionist tendencies you might have and keep things in perspective. Try to understand what is bringing negative feelings and face the challenge head-on rather than let it linger in your subconcious. If financies are worrying you, determine a budget you can live with, and stick to it, knowing you’ve been reasonable rather than out of control.
