The holiday season is often painted as the happiest time of the year, but as Kane County Magazine highlights in its December issue, it can also bring a lot of stress and emotional weight for many people.
In a feature titled “Hope for the Holidays,” Bloom Counseling and Therapy founder Sarah Blomquist, LCSW, shares practical ways individuals and couples can stay grounded and connected through the busy season.
Sarah reminds readers that maintaining balance isn’t about doing it all, it’s about focusing on what’s within your control.
“Feeling overwhelmed or anxious is valid. I tell my clients to always circle back to the five things within our control: sleep, sunlight exposure, movement, water intake, and nutrition,” Sarah explains in the article.
At Bloom Counseling and Therapy, Sarah and her team work with families, couples, and individuals throughout the year to help them navigate life transitions and strengthen emotional well-being.
