Coping With Christmas
For most people the Christmas period is a time for tremendous happiness and celebration. However, for some though Christmas can be a time of incredible loneliness, stress and/or sadness. The following are the results of a MORI poll about Christmas.
- One in three people have negative feelings about Christmas including feeling depressed, alone or angry.
- One in five find Christmas stressful or a source of anxiety.
- Although around half the people questioned love Christmas, almost one in ten hate Christmas.
So with Christmas approaching the following are some tips on how to cope through the Christmas period.
Coping with Christmas Finances
- Plan your Christmas budget, and stick to it. You need to budget for gifts, extra consumption and a few luxuries.
- Shop early for gifts. This spreads your spending over a few months rather than a few days, and also limits costly last minute purchases. Also shops are very busy at Christmas, as we all know, which can be very stressful - so get your Christmas shopping done early and beat the rush.
- Don’t overspend and do limit your credit card purchases. Don’t spend beyond what you can actually really afford! Don’t feel pressured to overspend.
- Try and think of cheap gifts or even make some gifts. You can also give a gift of your time eg. offer your help with home duties etc. And as it’s usually said about gift giving – “it’s the thought that counts”.
Coping with Christmas Overindulgence
For those watching your waistline, steer yourself towards the low fat, healthier options. Reach for light crackers and lean meats like chicken and turkey which haven’t been fried. Alan Lewis Personal Trainer
- Prepare a lot of vegetables and/or delicious salads to have with your Christmas roasts etc.
- Try to limit your overeating.
- Try to increase the amount of exercise you do over Christmas to counteract any overindulgences.
Coping with Christmas Stress & Anxiety
- A good way of dealing with stress and anxiety is to use relaxation – so pamper yourself, spend a little money on yourself over Christmas- a massage, facial or new hairstyle perhaps. Even consider a pre-Christmas break or a relaxing book.
- Plan in advance what activities you are going to participate in during the Christmas period and most importantly plan your Chrismas day activities. And remember, don’t try and do too much – this can be very stressful for some.
- Take things slowly. Take some time during Christmas just to “be in the moment” and try and feel the enjoyment and fun of Christmas. Try and enjoy your time spent with your friends and family.
- If you need, ask your family to help and support you through the Christmas period. They can help minimise the stress and pressures put on you during this period.
- Remember to just be yourself and don’t be too stressed by other peoples’ expectations of you.
- Christmas gatherings are normally noisy with boistrous children etc. so if you’re needing to get away from the noise etc., just take a break in a quiet area and resume with your festivities later on.
Now in conclusion, there are probably hundreds more tips around about how to cope during Christmas, but hopefully some of these tips here can help. But hopefully even if they’re not that helpful, your brain may be jolted into thinking about how you yourself can attempt to cope during your Christmas period.
