You know yourself best. If you’re feeling overwhelmed at a work holiday party, don’t be afraid to leave early, or step out for some air.
Don’t Over Commit
Even if you love parties, attending too many can be stressful.
Remember, the choice is yours. If you ever feel like you have too much on your plate, don’t be afraid to say no to an event or two.
Now, some work parties may be mandatory. This is where you’ll need to pay attention to your instincts.
If an event ever feels like too much, you can always leave a bit early or take a step outside for some fresh air.
Your me-time matters.
Be Mindful
Have you ever spent an entire event glued to your phone?
It’s more common than you think – especially if you tend to feel uncomfortable in social situations.
Here’s a tip. Make a list of ways you can practice mindfulness at every event.
Try your best to appreciate the moment and of course, have fun!
Change Your Thoughts
You know that negative voice in your head that pops up at the worst times?
Well, it’s time to turn that voice off.
This step does require some homework, but it’ll be well worth it in the long run.
Take some time to challenge your thoughts before every party. That way, if any negative thoughts do pop up, you’ll know how to deal with them.
