Lunar New Year is a time for family reunions, relaxation and enjoying the festive atmosphere. However, the hustle and bustle of preparing for this occasion often leads to stress and psychological fatigue.
Apply a few of the following methods to help "get through" an exciting Tet holiday and ensure good health.
Make a to-do list
Preparing for Tet involves many tasks such as cleaning the house, shopping, cooking and visiting relatives. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, housewives should make a list of tasks to do, arrange them in order of priority and divide their time reasonably to do them.
This is a way to help housewives manage work effectively as well as reduce pressure and save time.
Take time for yourself
Amidst the busyness of the year-end days, housewives should still maintain self-care. Spend at least 10-15 minutes a day doing relaxing exercises such as meditation, yoga or reading books, listening to music to help reduce stress as well as improve mood.
Listening to your body will also help maintain both physical and mental health.
Connect and share with loved ones
Tet is an occasion to bond with family and friends, so taking time to talk and share everything at the end of the year will help relieve all stress and fatigue.
Connecting with loved ones also spreads optimism and excitement for the coming new year.
Build a healthy diet
Housewives should also focus on building a healthy diet before and after Tet. A balanced diet, adequate sleep and regular exercise will be the foundation for good mental health.
During the Tet holiday, maintaining this habit will help your body and mind stay in the best condition.
Learn to say “no” when necessary
Taking on too many activities or trying to meet every expectation can lead to burnout. Learn to say no so you don’t waste time on things that don’t benefit your health. This helps maintain balance and avoid unnecessary stress.
Let's welcome Tet with a comfortable and optimistic spirit by making reasonable plans, taking good care of yourself and connecting with loved ones, maintaining a healthy lifestyle to enjoy a peaceful and happy spring.
