Less Holiday Stress

All week we are talking about holiday stress and how to handle that.  We need to be pre-emptive if the holidays have been hard for us in the past. Putting our mental health first is super important.  It's hard to try to feel happy during these merry celebrations when we are sad or stressed. Remember it's ok to say no if you aren't up for it. Seek out community whether it be religion or a self help group if needed. Circumstances change and what our holiday celebrations look like change. Remember you can always reach out to a professional. Call a hotline or a friend.  Talk to a spiritual adviser. You are not alone, please don't isolate.
