Plan for happiness during the holidays

Couple enjoying the outdoors.

If holidays are sad due to a lost loved one, plan to be with other people.

 

For many people, holiday times are too hectic and tiring to be enjoyable. For others, living alone or with memories of a lost loved one brings sadness.

•  Schedule activities you enjoy, but take time to unwind.

•  Keep from over planning, hosting, and attending too many events.

•  Lower expectations of having a perfect holiday. Focus on family traditions that are enjoyable, but realistic.

•  Talk to someone you trust if you are having sad feelings.
