Holiday Blues- Increase Self-Care

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

I know that it can be difficult for many people. 

It is a good idea to increase your self-care and coping skills to help you better deal with overwhelming emotions as Christmas approaches.

What is helpful for one person may not be for another. So, it is good to come up with self-care ideas that are the most helpful for you.

How you respond to stressful situations and emotions is important. Choose to respond in mentally and physically healthy ways.

Thankfulness And Loneliness

Happy Thanksgiving week!

This is a great time to count your blessings!

This week is also a week in which is very difficult for many individuals. Many people feel extra lonely because Thanksgiving is centered on getting together with loved ones and some people do not have loved ones or loved ones close to be able to see.

If this is you, try to plan ahead how you plan to cope with stress, sadness, depression, loneliness, etc. that this week can bring.  

Try to be thankful for your blessings while also preparing for low feelings.

Plan to volunteer, plan to do art projects, plan to exercise and eat healthy, plan to rent a movie, plan to reach out for support, etc.

Talk to yourself positively. Tell yourself that you will get through this!

Call Out To God- He Cares For You!

When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
Psalms 34:17


I know that sometimes that you feel like you are in a pit of hopelessness and feel like there is no way out.

There is a way out.

Pray to God.

He loves you with an everlasting love.

Seek God.

Pray.

Seek help.

Seek Counseling.

There is always hope!

Depressed? Sad? Lonely?

During the onset of the holidays, many people become extra sad, lonely and depressed.

It is important to seek positive support and not to stay isolated.

Reach out to a friend, family member, join a Sunday School class, attend a class of some sort, seek a support group, seek counseling.

Do not let your low emotions and feelings get worse. Take action. Seek support. 
 
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8


Be a HOPE CHANGER in your own life and in the lives of others!  

Demonstrate self-care and optimism to  facilitate healing and encourage others!
