Let’s talk about stress. The holidays are prime time for stress between holiday shopping, holiday parties and events, traveling and more! Research indicates that more than 38% of people notice increased stress during this time of year, and as many as 53% of people experience feelings of financial stress during the holidays as well, regardless of creating spending budgets or scaling back on gift giving efforts.
An additional reason that stress is so high during the holidays is the unrealistic expectation and pressure of being “jolly” or “happy” during this time of year, stemming from the pressures of traveling, taking time off work, over-commercialization, the feeling of a lack of time, creating the perfect meal or holiday display and financial constraints. Another term for what was described, is called “the happiness trap.” When we set such high expectations for ourselves, we’re setting ourselves up to fail, and that stress multiplies.
