Make efforts towards mindfulness, healthy lifestyle and stress management — this is very personal and different for each person. For some it may be meditating for 15 minutes every morning or going for a brisk walk and for others getting a massage is helpful. Be understanding and supportive if someone wants to do things differently this holiday season.
STORIES OF PALLIATIVE CARE
Remember that not everyone will be grieving the same way you are grieving. Some people find strength in long established traditions while others may choose to avoid customs of the past and do something new. Doing something kind for someone else, such as helping at a soup kitchen, delivering presents to the disadvantaged, or working with children, may lift your spirits and help everyone feel better about the holidays. Stop and smell the roses.
Books for the Holidays
Some people find that the smell of flowers, pine trees or just fresh air can decrease stress and increase relaxation. Given the activity of the season, some people may make it through the holidays without any issues but they might find the post-holiday period to be more difficult.
So remember that these tips can be helpful year round. Warm wishes this holiday season from Palliative Care Australia.
