Being trampled by holiday anxiety? How to protect yourself psychologically throughout the year

The dust settled.

The holiday stampede is awkward in the distance. It can bring love, joy, gratitude and deep connection with family... and the shock wave of stress and anxiety.

Here are two common reasons why anxiety and stress can lead to holidays.

[However, if you read it carefully, you will notice that these two are really true all year round]

1] from

Commitment is overwhelmed

For many people, their schedule exploded at the seams... spent a lot of time with the family... had to visit this relative... to attend this Activities... Go to this party. It is easy to be discarded in all different directions. Sometimes we can't make everything happen. Sometimes we even disappoint some family members.

Moreover, unlike other times of the year, it is even harder to escape these promises.

2] from

Drive to create the perfect vacation

Let it be the best experience, buy the best gift, prepare the best meals - and hold it for your loved ones at the same time, which is a huge pressure. Although this kind of care for others is admirable, it leaves a strain of exhaustion, pressure and pressure.

So what about the holidays?

Almost every person I have ever encountered with festival anxiety has fallen into a vicious circle of taking care of others... but they themselves. This also happens throughout the year, isn't it?

If this year can give you a shiny gift, then this is:

I challenge you and rekindle your concern for yourself.

you deserved.

You will like it.

You will be more productive.

You will be happier.

Your stress will be alleviated.

You will become stronger.

You will be better served by others.

However, some people think that:

If they take care of themselves, they will take others away.

Quite the opposite ...

The more you take care of yourself, the more you can take care of others.

In fact, researchers Van Yperen, Buunk and Schaufeli published a study in the study. Journal of applied psychology On this connection. They found that health care professionals who are more immune to burnout are those who help others, but they also seek help and support when they need it.

It's like a safety lecture on an airplane. In an emergency, when those yellow rubber masks are turned down from the ceiling, the instructions are: " Please protect your mask in front of people around you. "

The same thing:

If you want to help others, we must save ourselves.

If you want others to be at their best, we must do our best.

There are many ways to achieve this.

This is a quick start:

What activities inspire you?

What hobbies or activities can make you do your best?

What activities make you happy?

What activities have brought happiness to your life in the past?

Then let the ball roll again.
