Take Care at Christmas
- Christmas can be a time of joy with meaningful times of coming together with family and friends.
- Though it can be a time of frantic organisation, and rushing from one place to another.
- There can be stressful relationships and mixed emotions causing anxiety.
- Christmas for some may be a desperately lonely time, as you may not be able to see family and friends for many reasons.
- In all these situations it is important to take care of yourself
Give yourself Space – if Christmas a Busy Time
- Take time each day to yourself – to give yourself some self care
- Even if it is just five minutes to pause and take some deep breaths
- Find a time in the day where you can be alone – have a place of sanctuary
- Go outside – have a walk breath in the clear winter air – wrap up well
Be organised
- Plan your time – so you don’t get overwhelmed
- Make sure you have bought everything you need
- Write lists if that helps you
- Delegate tasks to others
Self Care
