What are the Holiday Blues?

• The Holiday Blues are temporary feelings of anxiety or depression during the holidays that can be associated with extra stress, unrealistic expectations or even memories that accompany the season.

This might include…

• Fatigue
• Tension
• Frustration
• Loneliness or isolation
• Sadness
• A sense of loss

Tips to avoid the Holiday Blues

• Stick to normal routines as much as possible
• Get enough sleep
• Get exercise– even if it’s only taking a short walk
• Set reasonable expectations and goals for holiday activities
• List to music or find other ways to relax

​

Remember

• The holiday blues are short-term. Be patient. Take things week by week or day by day.

​

Challenge

• Choose one tip to exercise during the holiday if you have feelings of anxiety or being overwhelmed.
