Happier Holiday Tips:

Focus on what you can control

The world can be a scary place, and it’s OK if you feel anxious. Focus on what you can control and save your energy for taking care of your physical and mental health.

Make time for yourself

Spending time with family and friends over the holidays is nice, but it can be overwhelming. Take some time for yourself when you need it! Just a 20-minute stretch or walk can help bring down your stress levels.

Keep healthy habits

Make sure to keep healthy habits, no matter what your holiday plans are. Remaining consistent can help your mood and your physical and mental health.

Spend time in nature

Especially for those with Seasonal Depression, the winter months can be a struggle. Connecting with nature can help. Go outside to get some sun, walk around your neighborhood or even buy a houseplant to have nature around you.

Manage expectations

Set realistic goals and keep expectations for the holidays manageable. Pace yourself--don't overdo it.

Ask for help if you need it

Talk to a trusted friend, teacher, counselor, or parent about any negative feelings you are having. They can help you get the support you need.

Take a breather

Make some time for yourself! Take a break, spend a few minutes alone, or find an activity you enjoy. This can help you feel refreshed.

Learn to say "no"

Saying yes when you should say no can leave you feeling resentful and overwhelmed. Friends and colleagues will understand if you can't participate in every project or activity.
