The next week can be mentally exhausting for a lot of people.
We get so caught up in our own world — the rush, the expectations, the noise of Christmas — that we forget to check in on each other.
Some people will have family staying with them, which brings a whole new layer of stress, pressure, and emotional load.
Others won’t have anyone to spend time with at all, and the loneliness hits harder when the world feels louder and happier without you.
If you start to feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you’re just trying to survive the day — pause.
Step into a quiet room. Take a breath. Give yourself permission to focus on you, even if it’s just for a moment.
You’re not weak for feeling it.
You’re human.
And you’re not alone — even when it feels like you are.
Check in on your people.
And if no one checks in on you… this is me doing it 🤍
