5 Things I Do Each Year That Help Ease My Social Anxiety During the Holidays

One thing that has helped ease my anxiety during the holidays is coming up with traditions that make me feel comfortable and at home. It gives me some sense of control, which reduces unwanted stress.

Whatever the case, have the courage to create traditions that feel right for you.
