For most people, the holidays are a time of joy and good cheer. But when living with ALS, or providing care for someone who does, holiday activities have the potential to add stress to an otherwise happy season.
Over the years, I’ve come to rely on a simple list of wellness behaviors that help me navigate the challenges ahead. I call it the “C.H.A.R.M. list;” C=clear intentions, H=humor, A=attitude, R=recovery time, and, M=mindful thoughts and actions. You can read examples of each in my column here: C.H.A.RM. Through the Holidays
What tips can you share that help you navigate the holidays? What has been or will be the most challenging moments for you?
