Michaela Kršíková: How to avoid the Christmas blues

The holiday season is often associated with peace and joy, yet it frequently brings pressure, exhaustion, and emotional strain. Michaela Kršíková from NEWTON University addresses this paradox in a commentary published in an economic magazine.

She explains why holiday stress emerges and offers practical insights into how to prevent it. Drawing on psychological perspectives, the article highlights the importance of setting realistic expectations, respecting personal boundaries, and allowing space to slow down. Christmas, she argues, does not need to be perfect to be meaningful.
