Favourite time of the year!

 We all eagerly wait for our holidays! Holidays are the same source of joy specially for the ones working had on a regular basis. Hence, the craving is mandatory. But as we all known nothing is always pure white or black, it is always a shade of grey! The negative side of holidays is that we see too much of the good times and experience way too much comfort. While stress is a part of our life, too much of it has a bad impact on our body and mind. 

Getting yourself indulged in too many activities during the holiday season builds up a stress both physically and mentally. It makes us feel more of frazzled than fulfilled. There is always thoughts going on in your mind about the things to do next. Be it fun activities, too much of it will always result in building up of stress.

Hence, it can cause many people a stress of debt, weight gain, memories of embarrassing incidents and many more! They can linger in your mind even when the holidays are over.

2) Too much of togetherness: During the holiday period, we ought to spend more time with our family and friends. However, even we are close knit to each other, it is normal to get overdosed of togetherness! It makes bonding with you family members and at the same time having alone time a bit more stressful and difficult to cope up with. Many family members also have the habit to compare and judge other members which may create a sense of stress inside the mind. Most of the times it brings dread than love to the family gatherings.

3) Not much of togetherness: Some us may be working outside our residential place, so during the holidays it is normal to miss our family and friends. Being lonely may give you peace and some self time, but it may also be the cause of building stress. We are sad to think that we would miss our family gathering. Moreover, the people who rely more on their friends for moral support, may feel lonely and devastated.
