Cherish the people around you. If you're alone, please don't isolate. It's a suggestion, as we have a program of suggestions. Suggest that you get out somewhere. Even if you have to go do volunteer work to be with strangers, just get out amongst people and just exchange that energy. Sitting alone doesn't work.
The holidays can be a mixed bag. For some, it's a time of joy and celebration, but for others, it brings a wave of stress and anxiety. In this episode of the 'Recovery Rebirth Podcast', hosts Dominick Gladstone and Jillian Green get real about the challenges many face during the festive season. They dive into the pressures of family dynamics, financial stress, and the grief that can resurface during this supposedly 'most wonderful time of the year'.
With personal anecdotes and practical advice, they offer a roadmap for navigating these tough times. The hosts discuss how seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can make winter months even harder, especially for those already prone to anxiety or depression. They touch on the importance of finding a supportive community, whether through recovery programs or chosen family, to help manage these feelings.
Dominick and Jillian encourage listeners to simplify their holiday plans, focus on meaningful connections, and avoid the traps of excessive consumerism and self-imposed deadlines. They also address the impact of social media on mental health and suggest taking breaks, exercising, and seeking support when needed. This episode is packed with heartfelt stories and practical tips, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to maintain their mental well-being during the holidays.
