Unfortunately, the holidays season causes stress, depression and tension.

 “Stress and conflict are normal emotions, it is how we deal with them that can bring about tension or depression.” says Angelina Rodriguez.  “The stress can be that of a relationship, work, money, war, grief or loss.”

The Holiday season for most Americans begins in Thanksgiving and goes through New Years Day. Sometimes it brings the unwelcome guests of Stress & Depression.

Holiday blues and stress are primarily caused by expectations we place on ourselves along with the belief that it is a magical time when people reconcile and dreams come true. Mix that with a lack of realistic planning and support and you’ve got a package of anxiety! Having unresolved events now or from the past,with home, work, economy or money, also make it hard to be in the spirit.

Bah! Humbug!

Just as Scrooge was visited by Christmas Past and Present to examine key events that shape his life and character, you too might need to travel to a place to just let it go, and begin to honor and love your Present self.

Regardless of the current life situation you are in, don’t despair: It’s not too late to put a little sanity back into the season.
