ANNOUNCER:
THE HOLIDAYS ARE MEANT TO BE A TIME OF CELEBRATION AND FUN WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE A TIME OF STRESS.
DOCTOR JOSEPH HULLETT, PSYCHIATRIST AND SENIOR MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR OPTUMHEALTH™, OFFERS SIMPLE TIPS TO STAY POSITIVE AND MANAGE STRESS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
DR. JOSEPH HULLETT:
“Most of us think of the holidays as a time of joy and togetherness, but it’s common to feel a little stressed this time of year. Don’t let holiday or financially-related stress put your health at risk. Remember to set realistic goals that fit your schedule and budget. Don’t let social expectations pressure you to overspend or spread yourself too thin. Have fun and enjoy the festivities, but make sure to work in some ‘down’ time and avoid overindulging with food or alcohol. And if you feel overly stressed or ‘blue’ know that you can seek help through a professional.”
