“How did we get here so fast?”, many of us find ourselves asking. “I’m not ready!”
And not everyone is ready for everything that comes with it. For some, it’s parties and fun and time with loved ones, but for others it’s a challenging time – financially, family-wise, or quite lonely.
This time of year, like no other, touches on some very personal pressure points and it’s so important to acknowledge and plan how you’re going to take care of yourself.
If you’re alone or a new arrival to the area, staying connected to others is very important. Find out what is going on in your community. Make sure you have something social to attend that you can look forward to.
For those navigating difficult family situations, remember you and your family come first, so consider how you’re going to share yourself around in a way that makes sense and allows you to spend some quality time with others and at home.
For busy people, it’s time to slow down, enjoy the moment and get some rest. If you’re someone who over-gives and tries to please everyone this means you! It’s a good time to practise a habit for the new year by blocking out time in the calendar that is just for you.
Whatever the season brings your way we wish you moments of joy, ease and celebration.
Warmest wishes to everyone from the Algarve Therapy Centre.
