While the holidays are a joyous time for most, they can be stressful for others.

Nadia Klekamp with Chestnut Health Systems has some tips for managing stress during this time of year. She says the first step is acknowledging how you're feeling.

Klekamp indicates it is important to keep things realistic and acknowledge that traditions can change and that not everything has to be perfect. Having a budget and sticking to it can also help to prevent stress.

Learning to say no and having time for yourself is important to keep in mind this time of year. Klekamp says while it may be hard to do, people will understand and respect you for taking care of yourself.

Klekamp implores anyone feeling overwhelmed or anxious during the holidays to call 988 or contact Chestnut at (888) 924-3786.
