Here are some tips for looking after your mental health over the Christmas period. Stay Connected Staying connected is particularly important this year, with many of our loved ones out of reach. Pick up the phone, video chat, or send a nice Christmas card to 1 keep you in contact with your nearest and dearest. Lend a Helping Hand Caring for others can make you feel good! Volunteer for a local charity, have a chat with your neighbour, give an elderly family member a phone call and check on 2 your mates! Give Yourself a Break Lower your 'perfect Christmas' expectations and don't ask too much of yourself! Set boundaries and say no to things you don't enjoy, or to tasks that will overload you. 3 Take Time out for You Christmas can be stressful!! The holidays can be hectic, overwhelming and a little too much! Remember to take time out for yourself.
