Are you stressed yet with Christmas now 10 days away?
If so, you’re not alone. CrossWinds Counseling and Wellness CEO Amanda Cunningham says personal and cultural expectations can increase stress levels before “life happens,” so it’s important to set some priorities with your holiday expectations.
Financial matters can also cause post-holiday depression if people overspend, so a game plan is needed.
Another stressor is a feeling of loneliness and isolation — which may seem impossible, given the number of family or work gatherings to close out the year. However, Cunningham says that’s more prevalent than people may think.
