W: Absolutely. I was telling them to calm down to the end of the year. In fact, they are feeling a lot of pressures with work deadlines, financial pressure, family obligations and of course shopping for the holiday.
M: Speaking about the holidays, how does the stress escalate during this time of the year？
W: The bottom-line is women still bear the burden for the holidays. They are still, you know, whether they are working or not working, or single, or whatever the case may be, they are the ones to make the holiday. And family adds a lot of stress, too. A lot of time women tend to bear the burden alone. You feel like you've got to be the one who has to do it all alone. You have to make it all the beautiful; you have to make it all the delicious; you have to meet your children's expectations; and you have to manage all those family relationships. And think about it, you don't necessarily see the people during the year all the time. Yet they all come to your home and you will be together for a long period. That can actually add a lot of stress.
M: You said that "investigating old stories can help manage the families", what do you mean by that？
W: What I mean is that women often feel the expectation, because they are thinking "I wanna do like I remembered my mother doing it", or "I wanna do it differently than my mother did it". These old stories about how perfect it's supposed to be come from somewhere. And if you understand where that expectation is coming from, you have a better chance to be more objective about it. You know, maybe I don't have to bake 100 different varieties of cookies. Maybe that's something my mother chose to do but Vm gonna do it differently.
M: A lot of women feel guilty around this time of the year, too, right？ And you say that's the part of thing you have to get rid of.
W: Right! You have to let go of the guilt. They tell you when you get on an aeroplane that in a case of an emergency when the oxygen masks come down put it on yourself first. You have to save yourself before you can help others. So it's really important that you let go of the guilt, prioritize, and learn a way to notice something that you are just not able to do.
M: And feeling better is another really key topic…
W: Absolutely, during this stressful time, the health issues can become, you know, more prevalent. So you really need to make sure that you are eating right, you are getting enough rest and you are also listening to your body. And give yourself a little time out occasionally. You know, take time to meditate or just to focus on yourself.
