Navigating Christmas with a chronic illness
Navigating Christmas with a chronic illness | Patient
- Plan ahead - planning gives you an idea of what to expect and can reduce your anxiety.
- Lean on others for support, and delegate - there's no shame in asking for help, and coming together is what Christmas is all about. It's a team effort.
- Block off time for yourself - make sure you have alone time to do what you love, whether that's a Boxing Day walk or watching a Christmas movie.
- Be kind to yourself and compassionate with yourself - beating yourself up for the things you can't do won't help anyone.
- Accept your limitations - you won't be on top form all day, and that's OK.
- Pace yourself - listen to your body and rest when it needs to.
- It's OK to cheat - you don't need to make all your food from scratch!
- Prioritise yourself - you don't have to keep everyone else happy or fit in with their plans because it's convenient.
