Need Some Holiday Stress Relief?

It’s holiday time and life gets busy. The Wellesley Health Department wants to remind you about the importance of self-care.  

Remember to take care of your physical needs- it’s easy to get depleted. Get plenty of rest and hydrate! Eat a healthy, balanced diet to the best of your ability, try not to overindulge, and dedicate time to exercise. Try not to overbook yourself- say no if you are feeling overextended. 

Do the things that provide joy for you- take a walk, read a book, listen to your favorite music, and surround yourself with caring people. 

If you would like a supportive listening ear, call the Wellesley Health Department Senior Community Social Worker for more tips on managing stress, as well as how to find professional help when needed. Call anytime during business hours.
