Packing for your girl’s holiday can be stressful. You have to take double everything just in case. Furthermore, there are two types of people when it comes to packing for their holiday. You get one person who leaves it until the night before without needing a list. Then you have the other person that packs the weekend before with an endless list of items they think they will need.
The holidays are highly anticipated and promoted as a time of peace and joy. But sometimes, life gets in the way and they are anything but what people expect them to be. There might be financial worries, wondering how you’re going to manage to buy gifts for people; there might be worries about strained family relationships or even having to work too many hours to enjoy the festivities.
Handling all of this stress can be stressful enough, especially when you throw in the idea that society expects you to enjoy this time of year. So, it can lead to feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. There are strategies to successfully manage your holiday stress so that you feel rejuvenated, happy, and excited about the celebratory time ahead.
