Holiday Survival: Daily Check-In – Sex and Relationships

The holidays are about spending time with loved ones and feeling connected.

Even for people who don’t feel stressed about the holidays, daily check-ins can be helpful. For those of us who are stressed out, daily check-ins are an absolute must. We need to take a few minutes every day to sit down and ask ourselves the following questions:

• Am I feeling stressed, sad, angry, or isolated?
• Am I keeping any secrets?
• Have I ever lied?
• Do I have unrealistic expectations for family, friends, or holiday gatherings?

Answering these questions honestly can help us understand how we are feeling and understand whether we are susceptible to relapse.
