Enjoy the Holidays: Planning Ahead and Staying Organized During the Holidays with Fairlawn/Passaic and Bergen CountySeniors

December 19, 2017

Staying Organized and Calm Through the Holidays with Fairlawn/Passaic and Bergen CountySeniors


Remember the sentiment of the holidays. Joy, not strife. No one ever said the holidays have to be perfect. We may WANT them to be, but that is an unrealistic expectation. When we strive to have everything perfect, we lose our joy and the fun-filled spirit all around us. We all have a tendency to want to do it all. When we have this mindset, we create expectations in our heads.

These expectations then do not get met, and as a result,  we lose our joyful holiday spirit. We instead become stressed and miserable and feel like failures, even though that could not be further from the truth. As a Fairlawn/Passaic and Bergen Countysenior caregiver, make an organized list before the festivities begin, so that you can see what is doable, and then make a plan. Keep in mind however, that this plan is flexible if surprises come your way, which they most likely will. Any event, holiday or not, is always unpredictable when caring for your Fairlawn/Passaic and Bergen Countysenior. The important thing to remember is, the memories you are making with your loved ones, not the plans.
