Work on your gift shopping year-round. Keep to your ordinary schedule as much as possible. Make time for your normal exercise routine and moderate your eating. Give yourself time to celebrate. Be sure to enjoy the spiritual component of the holidays.
Depression Keep in mind that it is okay to feel sad during the holiday seasons.
There is room for these feelings even during the holidays. Don t be disappointed if your holidays are not like they used to be. Each holiday season is different and can be enjoyed in its own way. Do something for someone else. Try volunteering or donating to a shelter or foster care home.
