Talk is cheap
We do it everyday, in all areas of our life, but the value of a good old chinwag shouldn't be underestimated. Opening up to a friend or family member you trust, can help enormously. But if you worry about burdening them, or you'd prefer to speak to a stranger about your innermost feelings, the Samaritans has a phoneline open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call 08457 909090 and talk to somebody about whatever is on your mind in complete confidence.
Get enough sleep
Tempting as it is over the festive season to burn the candle at both ends, you'll benefit from scheduling in a few early nights. And once you've pencilled in an evening of relaxation, make the most of it. Check your bed and all its trimmings are as comfy as can be, and your room is dark and quiet. Before you contemplate counting sheep, treat yourself to a long hot bath with a few drops of lavender oil. A bedtime-blend of herbal tea will help set you up for a deep snooze and sweet dreams. Those few extra Zs will leave you feeling better able to tackle whatever life throws at you.
