Holiday Self-Care & Stress Relief
November 25, 2024
With so much going on this season, it can be harder to keep a handle on your stress levels and stay in control of your emotions. You owe it to yourself to take the time you need to look after your emotional health no matter how much you feel you have to do for others. By learning how to better control your emotions and manage feelings of anger and sadness, you can look forward to a more meaningful holiday season.
One of the worst things we can do when we feel something negative is try to hide it or bury it. If you want to know how to manage anger, sadness, and stress, you need to embrace what you feel and accept it. Recognizing your feelings and working to understand what causes those feelings makes it easier to work through them. This can also allow you to identify the stimuli that trigger certain emotions so that you can more proactively avoid issues in the future.
There are a lot of different steps that you can take to better control your emotions. Getting proper sleep, exercising, eating well, and being socially active can all be extremely beneficial for emotional health, but they all require some degree of time and effort. No matter how busy you are at work or at home, you’re never too busy to take 15-30 minutes away to go for a walk, write down your thoughts, talk to a friend, or meditate with some soft music and Thieves Essential Oil. Making this space for yourself and prioritizing your emotional health is especially crucial when you have a lot going on, so consider this time and space sacred and necessary.
Taking time to focus on emotional health means focusing on your holistic well-being—and that’s just what chiropractic care does. With regular chiropractic adjustments, you can relieve pain and stress, feel more relaxed and focused, and head into the busy holiday season with confidence.
