Ah, the holidays. The “most wonderful time of year”?
As much as the holidays represent a time of rest, joy, and spending time with loved ones, it also comes with challenges such as:
- Feelings of loneliness from not having anyone to spend the holidays with. Find tips in Celebrating for One.
- Having to meet obligations or spend time with family – can’t live with them, can’t live without them. To deal with this, go to Getting Through the Family Holiday Drama.
- Milestones or anniversaries around a death or loss. For support, take a look at After the Death or Loss of a Loved One.
- Managing the holiday festivities including how to moderate drinking alcohol or over eating through the guide of Merriment in Moderation.
- Figuring “what’s next?” and feeling the pressure of the upcoming year. For some self discovery and goal setting support, read The Dilemma of “New Year, New Me”.
The holidays can come with many challenges.
