As a result of having too many obligations to fulfill, December frequently feels like an arduous month. The month is difficult to manage due to the combination of social commitments, corporate responsibilities, and household chores. The job and busy schedule get more intense as the year comes to an end. We are exhausted and stressed out due to the never-ending deadlines, long workdays, upcoming tests, and the last minute cleaning and arrangements that need to be done before the year ends.

Even while we look forward to the new year with great anticipation, the journey to it often leaves us feeling too exhausted and drained to welcome it with enthusiasm and energy. Setting aside time and resources for ourselves occasionally is the best approach to getting the most out of all commitments and tasks. Self-care is the first thing that is neglected when things appear complicated, but it is what keeps us strong and in control throughout this stressful period.

But worry not—you can handle the month with composure and clarity if you practice self-care and mindfulness. Here are some simple yet, effective strategies for managing stress, staying grounded, and entering the new year refreshed and recharged.
