17 Ways to Shake Off the Holiday Funk
Do you ever fall into the holiday funk? You know what we mean, that feeling of being overloaded with obligations and activities during the end of the year. The holiday funk can also be brought on by feelings of loneliness or sadness due to a loved one who has passed, a relationship that is broken, or even bad holiday experiences of the past. I think we all go through periods of the holiday funk from time to time.
While there are many reasons that we and up in a holiday funk, we need to remember that we can choose not to be prisoners of the holidays, but rather drivers of the experience that we want. A good place to start is deciding what is truly important to you this holiday season and work towards that goal. Ask yourself, "What will make me happy this holidays?" For some, it may be spending time with family. For others, it may be enjoying peace and quiet at home and catching up on much needed rest. It may even be taking a trip and getting away from home. Then, stick with your goal. Do whatever it takes for you to achieve it and resist the feeling of guilt if you forgo a tradition or turn down an invitation.
