Christmas can be a time of magic and wonder, but for some, the festive period can also be a time of Christmas stress and anxiety. This was amplified over the past few years by the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown measures that were put in place, affecting all of us, along with the uncertainty that future festive holidays may well be similar.
For many reasons, some people may experience feelings of isolation, loss and bereavement, financial pressures or increased family conflict that can make the Christmas period one of anxiety and loneliness.
It is important to stay healthy to avoid Christmas anxiety. Recognising and changing behaviours that contribute to your stress will help you get through the Christmas period. Remember to look after yourself by eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep.
