The holiday season can be a time of joy, celebration, and connection. Yet for many older adults, it may also bring feelings of loneliness, grief, or added stress. Being separated from loved ones or facing the season with limited support can make this time of year feel especially challenging. Some may even say the holidays sometimes feel like a double-edged sword, bringing positive and negative stressors. However, preparing for them can make all the difference in how you experience the season, both emotionally and physically.
Let us help you make meaningful connections at the Stephenson County Senior Center, with our Healthy Holiday Habits program, presented by University of Illinois Extension, on Thursday, December 11, from 1 to 3 p.m. Connecting with others, especially during the holiday season can foster a sense of peace and belonging, whether attending family gatherings, community events, or simply sharing a meal with friends. However, it can also bring busy schedules, tempting treats, and emotional ups and downs, making it harder to stay on track with your wellness goals.
Join us as we share practical tips and strategies to help you navigate the holiday season, make healthier food choices, manage stress, prioritize self-care, build meaningful connections, and stay on track with your wellness goals, all while still enjoying the season.
