MANAGING Holiday Stress

Stuart SchlossmanFor the Benefit of the Patient, Misc. Tips - Non MS Related, Multiple Sclerosis

For many people, the holidays are “the most wonderful time of the year.” The sights, sounds, and scents of the season can put you in the mood to celebrate. But all those festivities can take their toll in the form of stress, especially for someone living with MS.

Try following these tips to help preserve your holiday cheer: 

* Be realistic. Don’t put pressure on yourself by setting oversized expectations. 

* Set limits. Remember that you don’t have to accept everything. Turn down those projects or activities that are more than you can handle. 

* Plan ahead. Take some of the stress out of holiday entertaining by doing as much as you can in advance. The more you can get out of the way early, the less pressure there’ll be later on.
