Increasingly, folks have more interest in looking out for themselves (self care). Have a look at this thoughtful piece from Harvard Health. It could improve your entire Holiday Season!
As much fun as the holiday season can be, it’s also stressful for many people, and some find it difficult to feel joyful. Taking time amidst the rush to focus on your own feelings and needs can help relieve some of the stress and make the season more pleasant.
