Early decorating for the holidays/ Psychologists: Brings benefits to mental and

Decorating early for the holidays comes with potential mental and emotional health benefits.

According to psychologists, putting up a tree and decorating your living space with lights and garlands can trigger nostalgia, bringing back warm holiday memories from your childhood. Decorating early means you'll be able to enjoy these positive energies for a few extra weeks.

Smell is also strongly linked to memory, so consider lighting a scented candle that reminds you of sitting by your grandparents' fireplace or buying a real tree, instead of an artificial one, for that piney scent.

"If someone has a holiday scent that evokes positive emotions or memories, having that scent around has the potential to improve your mood. It's a healthy distraction from the weight of the year," said psychologist Rebecca Leslie.

While it's important to let yourself feel your feelings (yes, even the uncomfortable ones), that doesn't mean you have to be consumed by fear and anxiety 24/7. Finding healthy ways to take your mind off everything that's going on in the world can provide some relief and help you cope. /CNA
