What Can Help?
The importance of doing things that bring you joy is not stressed enough.
This holiday season it is all about you! Taking time for yourself and enjoying even little things can really make a difference. Be selfish. Prioritize yourself.
Helpful distractions include journaling, pampering yourself, finding a new podcast or book to devour.
There are various apps that could also come in handy. “Calm” is a meditation app that is becoming more and more popular. It was designed to sooth listeners, with their app description saying, “You’re going to get through this, and all you need is a moment.”
“BetterHelp” is another app that goes a step further and connects you with licensed therapists and counselors online. It is very convenient and an easier way for new comers to dip their toe into therapy.
When it comes down to mental health, please seek professional help if needed.
Though we are living in somber times, we are living through them together. The holidays may feel sad and lonely this year, but the good news is just like any other day, they’ll pass.
