Take Time for Self-Care

If the holiday season has got you down, you may need to shift your focus onto taking care of yourself.  Rather than centering on the potential stress and disappointment around the holidays, take time to practice self-care instead. Putting effort into your own self-care can help you feel more in control of your current situation and free from holiday stress.

Self-care involves all those activities that you may engage in to enhance your personal health and wellbeing. These practices can include every part of your life, such as your physical, spiritual, creative, and social needs. For example, you may take an exercise class to improve your physical health, join a group to increase your social support, or start a hobby to strengthen your creativity. Here you will find tips on how to bring more self-care into your life.
