‘Decompress a little bit’: Australians urged to find time for themselves this Christmas

UNISC Senior Lecturer in Psychology Dr Rachael Sharman says Christmas can be overwhelming for some people as she urges Australians to take a break if needed. “For the people who aren’t the raging extroverts, it is about finding time for yourself and to decompress a little bit,” Ms Sherman told Sky News Australia. “It is finding that time to get out and about, in particular, anything involving physical activity and exercise is a great thing. “Anything that probably separates you from the eggnog and too much Christmas pudding is also a good thing. “That overindulgence and feeling overwhelmed also comes in with our diet and drinking. “Just taking a break from that and thinking about where you can schedule those breaks in – really important.”
