"You're likely to start feeling out of control. This is because of all the work you must accomplish before the end of the year, all the events you must attend, and all the responsibilities to families and friends for the holidays. Feeling like your work-life balance is out of control can sap your energy and create a barrier to getting things done."
"So how can you feel more in control? First, decide what you must do this year and put off the things that don't need your attention until after the holidays. Be intentional to get things done that will relieve your mind and keep responsibilities from hanging over your head. At the same time, plan for what can be done later on."
Holiday stress affects a majority of people, with 57% of respondents reporting seasonal stress in a LifeStance Health survey. Maintaining energy and momentum through year-end demands requires pragmatic strategies and intentional choices. Regain control by deciding which tasks must be completed and which can be postponed until after the holidays. Use lists and calendars to track obligations and upcoming events, and check off completed items to create a sense of progress and completion. Prioritize actions that relieve the mind and prevent responsibilities from hanging over your head. Plan for tasks that can wait and adopt control methods that suit individual preferences.
