  • Get organized. The brain functions better when structure is provided. Take time to go through your closet and put away any clothes you won’t be using during the winter months and pull put your colder weather clothes in the front of your closet. This will give you a feeling that you are in control.
  • Get festive. Decorate for the holidays to make your space feel a little less monotonous. Put on some appropriate tunes while you are decorating. This will help you feel included and as so many others are celebrating in their own unique ways. A little holiday spirit can help you better manage your emotions.
  • Let go of the past. Don’t be disappointed if your holidays are not like they used to be. Life brings changes. Each holiday season is different and can be enjoyed in its own way. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Celebrate the holidays in a way you have not tried before. Try volunteering some time to help others.
  • Go window shopping. Go shopping without buying anything. Take advantage of holiday activities that are free of charge, such as driving around to look at Christmas decorations in your neighborhood or participating in your community tree lighting or church service tradition.
  • Spend time with people who are supportive and care about you. Make plans to see your friends – and stick to them!
