Navigating Holiday Stress

Holidays such as the Chinese New Year often come with a mix of joy and stress. The shift from a busy daily routine to a festive atmosphere can be disorienting, leading to anxiety or mental fatigue. This transition challenges individuals as they confront family dynamics, financial pressures, and social expectations, making emotional preparation crucial. Failure to adapt to this shift can result in feelings of emptiness, particularly in the early days of the holiday when routines are disrupted.
