"Coping with Holiday Stress"
.jpg)
While
the holidays are thought to be the most joyous time of the year,
it can also be the most stressful for many reasons. Unrealistic
expectations, anxiety, financial constraints and family tensions can
all lead to an extra helping of stress, which could cause potentially
serious health issues. .jpg)
Psychiatrist
Christopher Adams and Dana Ryder of the Lourdes Behavioral Health
Program said there are a number of ways to cope when the Grinch
threatens to steal away your holiday spirit.
Breathe! Take a deep breath, or several.
Keep expectations manageable
Organize your time
Prioritize important activities
Acknowledge your feelings
Communicate openly and honestly
Live in the moment. Each season can be enjoyed in its own way
Do something for someone else. Volunteer
Spend time with supportive and caring people
Don't "over celebrate" with food or drink
And most importantly, Lighten up! Don't take yourself so seriously. Laugh more.
Lourdes offers emergency mental health evaluations from 7:30 am until midnight each day.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Rotary Board of Directors will meet briefly next Wednesday, Dec. 16th immediately following the Club meeting to discuss one item.
With
temperatures dropping hourly and brisk winds providing a frosty
wind chill factor, we are assured Bill Dyer is smiling down upon
the annual Salvation Army Bell Ringing today. Head Ding-a-ling
Hal Sullivan reported the day was going very well as pity for
freezing Rotarians really opens up those wallets and purse strings.
Thanks to Ron Stonecipher, our bell ringers wore orange Tennessee
Valley Towing knit caps in memory of Bill, who was the longtime
chair of the Club's day at the kettles. Checks made to Salvation
Army may still be donated by dropping them by Hillard Lyons 2929
Broadway. But hurray so Hal can turn in the money.
There will NO club meeting on Wednesday, December 23rd or Wednesday, December 30th.
