Eight Ways to De-Stress the Holidays

• Turn off the news. Light candles and play music.
• Keep a "success list" every day. Notice what gets done, not what doesn't.
• Focus on the things you like in your life. You'll get more of them.
• Take a 20 minute walk. Natural light and exercise can improve mood.
• Take a short nap.
• Breathe in to a count of 4. Hold 4, then release, breathing out to a count of 4. Repeat often.
• Stay aware of the meaning the holidays have for you.
• Never miss a therapy appointment.

The holidays are full of emotions, memories, and family time. I am here to help.

Approximately twenty percent of the US adult population will experience a Mood Disorder in their lifetime. The average age at onset is 30 years old. A Mood Disorder can be triggered by an imbalance in brain chemistry, life changes, a difficult relationship, or a combination of those things. Medication and "talk" therapy used together appear to give the best results.

We Gotta Laugh

... and Dream!

What would YOUR perfect holiday look like? Do you even know? Life is short! Begin now to include your own needs and preferences, and not just what pleases everyone else. You matter too.

Take shortcuts. Delegate some of the shopping, wrapping, cooking and planning, and let go of the results. Don't wait for someone else to make YOU happy!
