8 TIPS to Manage the Holiday Season GOOD ENOUGH
Prioritize sleep: For adults make sure you’re getting 7-9 hours of sleep a night.
Exercise: Keep your body moving to manage stress, increase energy levels, and improve sleep.
Hydrate & Eat A Balanced Diet: Avoid overconsumption of sweets, processed foods, and alcohol. If you overindulge, give yourself a pass.
Practice Stillness: Set aside quiet time for yourself, to journal, reflect, be present to what is happening in your body and mind, meditate.
Identify & Validate Your Feelings: This alone can help regulate your nervous system. Whatever you are with, it will pass.
Set a Budget: It can be an expensive time of the year. Stick to a manageable budget.
Honor Limits: Prioritize what you are able to do and attend. It is okay to say no or turndown invitations.
Reach for Support: Connect with others. Do meaningful things. Contact your medical doctor or therapist if things get unmanageable.
