Practical Tools for Less Stress and More Joy Over the Holidays

Join us for this practical, neuroscience-based look at why this can be hard for many people and some simple tools you can implement to bring less stress and more joy to your Holiday Season.

Description

The Holiday Season is often a mixed bag of emotions for many people. On one hand, every family has many traditions and ways to celebrate the season that make it special. On the other hand, the season is filled with stressors: long lines, busy traffic, too many social events for some, loneliness for others, buying gifts yet being conscious of overspending, eating, and drinking too much, and the stress that can result when families come together. All on top of the usual race to the "finish line" at work. It's a lot.

What We’ll Cover:

  • Understand the neuroscience behind holiday stress and its impact on well-being.
  • Identify common stressors during the holiday season.
  • Learn practical tools and techniques to manage stress and increase joy.
  • Cultivate mindfulness and self-awareness to navigate holiday challenges more effectively.
  • Foster meaningful connections and relationships during the holiday season.
  • Develop strategies for maintaining balance and self-care amidst the busyness of the holidays.

Join us for this practical, neuroscience-based look at why this can be hard for many people and some simple tools you can implement to bring less stress and more joy to your Holiday Season.
