HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN: THE ORIGINS OF THE HOLIDAY
Stephanie Samar, a New York-based scientific psychologist who focuses on temper and nervousness issues in kids, mentioned that whereas there’s “no inherent problem” with the early launch of Halloween decor, as a society, wanting too far forward into the long run can induce nervousness for some.
“Anxiety brings us to the future, but it brings us to a future that’s scary,” Samar informed Fox Information Digital final 12 months. “We think we messed up because we [feel] we did not prepare in some way. We are going to be fine, but that’s not what our thoughts are telling us when we’re feeling stressed out or anxious about something.”
Samar identified how the arrival of Halloween decor, sweet and costumes could trigger individuals to really feel as if they’ve already “missed the boat” they usually’re unprepared indirectly.
“In reality, if we don’t have a Halloween costume and we throw something together, it’s probably going to be OK,” she mentioned. “That’s not how we think, though. … Seeing the costumes around you [could have you] feeling like you’re behind.”
Samar prompt adopting a “one thing at a time” mentality and specializing in what’s taking place “right now.”
“Is this a right now problem or a future problem?” Samar prompt individuals ask themselves. “Is choosing a Halloween costume [important] or is it making sure I have enough supplies for the start of school?”

Test the details, Samar mentioned. Ask your self, “Do I have evidence that I won’t be prepared for the future? Was I ever not prepared for Halloween [or another moment]? Analyze your facts before worrying.”
“If you’re really struggling with stress and anxiety,” she added, “I would recommend speaking with a therapist. They can go through and challenge what are helpful thoughts.”
Fox Information Digital reached out to Samar for added remark.
Some customers mentioned they’re already gearing up for spooky season, with one man posting on X, “seeing halloween decor in shops is the one factor giving me hope that sooner or later this summer season warmth will finish.”
