Feeling Stressed Out?

Would You Rather Be Out and About?

The holidays are an exciting time of good cheer, warm family traditions, and spending time with friends. Or, are they?  Tee hee

For many people, the idea of entering a crowded room and chatting up coworkers or strangers at a party, exchanging gifts with friends, traveling from home, or attending large family gatherings can produce intense anxiety, depression, or both.

Holiday parties are a common stressor, and they can be terrifying for people with anxiety disorders, particularly those who have social anxiety disorder.   They may try anything to avoid such activities, but avoidance will only perpetuate fear. Although some report that the holidays lift their spirits, many people say that the holiday season makes them feel very or a bit more anxious or depressed.

JUST DO IT… push these meridian points to help relieve you of anxiety and help you enjoy your holidays more.
