The holiday
season is supposed to be a happy time, and for many people it is. However, for
some people, the holiday season can be a challenging time. Some people even go
into various levels of depression during the holiday season. One of the most
common coping mechanisms for dealing with sadness is to eat.
It’s easy
to over-indulge during the holiday season when food is everywhere, and
everybody seems to be eating and enjoying themselves. You really have to watch
out for negative trains of thought that seem to keep running and running. When
you get stuck in a rut mentally, it’s easy to turn to unhealthy behaviors like
over-indulging. Keep yourself around positive people as much as possible. And
don’t forget to do some of the things that are good for you, like taking a walk
or reading a book.
