Everyone talks about emotional health as if it’s something to achieve, optimize, or perform —
especially during the holidays.
But emotional health isn’t about pushing through,
showing up everywhere,
or ignoring your limits.
Sometimes it’s about taking the pressure off.
About allowing yourself to be overwhelmed.
About choosing rest, distance, or silence — without guilt.
You’re allowed to feel conflicted.
You’re allowed to need space.
You’re allowed to protect your nervous system.
Emotional health is not performance.
Sometimes, it’s permission.
