***Wellness Resources for Dealing with Stress & The Importance of Self-Care***
Developing healthy habits for coping with stress can help curb problems down the road.
Self-care for everyone involved is a great way to ensure the smoothest holiday season. Healthy habits will help you push through the holiday season with a smile on your face. Here are a few self-care tips:
-Take time for yourself – even if only 5-10 minutes a day
-Try a few minutes of meditation
-Keep up with exercise throughout the holidays
-Make sure you aim for 6-8 hours of sleep
-We know there are many temptations, but eating healthy foods as much as possible will keep you happy and healthy
***Meditation and Mindfulness***
Lifestyle practices, like meditation, can make a big difference in your daily outlook. The ability to be mindful will help you stay present and enjoy the holidays instead of getting caught up in the small things.
Mindfulness Coach 2 is an app developed by the VA to help Veterans learn how to practice mindfulness. The VA also has guided meditation audio files that will help you gradually learn how to practice meditation.
It’s Okay to Seek Professional Help!
It takes strength to seek help. Sometimes Veterans need more help than family or friends can give, and that’s okay. We debunk several of the myths surrounding Mental Health here. Know that you aren’t alone! https://vaclaimsinsider.com/6-myths-working-with-100-va-disability-rating/
