You can look at all the obstacles that's there or you can look at the opportunities, and the opportunities for joy, I'd say reframing it.
The holiday season is often painted as a time of joy and celebration, but for many, it can also be a period filled with stress and challenges. In this episode of 'Rise', hosts Julia Carson and Elizabeth Vaughan dive into why Christmas can negatively impact our mental health and offer practical tips to help you take care of yourself during this demanding time.
Whether it's the pressure of gift-giving, the strain on finances, or the emotional weight of family gatherings, Julia and Elizabeth have got you covered with strategies to maintain your wellbeing. One of the standout moments in this episode is their discussion on reframing obstacles into opportunities for joy. Julia shares, 'you can look at all the obstacles that's there or you can look at the opportunities, and the opportunities for joy, I'd say reframing it'.
This mindset shift can be a game-changer when navigating holiday stress. The episode is packed with actionable advice, from being mindful of food and spending habits to building mindfulness practices. They talk about finding joy in little moments, creating new traditions, acts of generosity and kindness, gratitude journaling, and, crucially, maintaining sobriety during the holidays. They also emphasize the importance of finding downtime amidst the busyness—whether it's going for a walk, taking a mindful moment, or journaling.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the festive season, this episode is a must-listen. Grab a cup of tea, find a quiet corner, and tune in to 'Rise' to learn how to turn this potentially stressful time into an opportunity for growth and joy.
