How to cope with holiday stress

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:38:15 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The holidays can be a stressful and emotional time for many, and that’s OK.“Some people are dealing with things where they're not feeling very connected,” said Matthew Harmon, a local therapist at Thriveworks. “They're feeling isolated and depressed, anxious, unhappy.”Financial stress plays a big role this time of year, according to Harmon.“We all know that Holidays are not cheap. You gotta buy gifts, and there's traveling and hosting events. And as prices increase, some people's wages are not increasing. That can also create a feeling that they're not supporting their families.”Harmon warned social media could also trigger anxiety.“You see the perfect image, you see a snapshot, but as we know, life is not always perfect.”His advice?

View the original article about CBD for Dogs at Real Tested CBD.Pet owners often get interested in CBD oil for the same reasons humans take this product. If customers aren’t drawn in by CBD’s anti-inflammatory benefits, chances are they want to use CBD to calm their canine’s nerves.

Death Lens on Fontaines DC: Bryan Torres of East L.A. alt-punk band Death Lens told us about his Fontaines D.C. experience.Bryan Torres: Fontaines D.C. came and played at the Regent Theater in May of 2022. I was always of fan of their music, but did not expect their performance to be so explosive. As they came out, I was expecting them to just perform and listen without any commotion since their music is more on the slow or less aggressive side.As soon as they came out Grian Chatten came ready to put on a show as he swayed around the stage, holding the mic stand and singing all his songs with power and a sense of poise that Ian Curtis gave back in the ’80s. He had this way of him that made me jealous of how good he was as a front man. It made me realized that even slow songs can come with a punch and that songs do not have to be played the same as the record.His movements, his connection with the crowd and the unison his band had that night really push me to mold the boys we h...

It was 2004 at the Holiday Bowl, and the Bears were still smarting over being leapfrogged by Texas for a berth in the Rose Bowl.Even with Aaron Rodgers at the helm, Cal lost to Texas Tech 45-31 that night in San Diego.The Bears should be much more motivated for the rematch, having won their final three regular-season games to become bowl eligible. The Red Raiders won three in a row to earn their spot in the postseason before ending their schedule with a 57-7 beatdown by Texas.As it stands now. this will be Cal’s final game as a member of the Pac-12 Confe...
