The holidays should be a happy time filled with family, laughter and good food. For some going through a divorce, it’s a far cry from that. If you find your emotions are out of whack this holiday season, we’ve got some tips for you to avoid a less-than-jolly holiday and New Year.
Evaluate your traditions. While letting go of traditions may seem sad, it can actually lift a huge burden off of your shoulders. Ask yourself—was this tradition really working for me anyway? Now you’ve got a chance to reinvent your holiday season in whatever way you wish!
Stay away from too much alcohol. It’s no secret that with holiday parties and gatherings, alcohol is typically in no short supply. If you’re finding yourself emotional, don’t turn to drinks to cheer yourself up. This can become an unhealthy crutch that can follow you into the New Year and beyond.
Don’t make a New Year’s resolution. Yes, you read that correctly. Let’s be honest—we rarely keep the resolutions that we do make. Instead of making a resolution for 2020, evaluate what worked and what didn’t work. Take time to focus on what you learned and what you plan to conquer in 2020. Focus on what you can do to make 2020 your best year yet.
Keep your negative thoughts in check. It’s easy to see what others are celebrating this Christmas or New Year and dwell on wanting those things. In a year, you’ll look back at this holiday season and be amazed at how far you’ve come.
