The holidays can be a really meaningful time, but they can also bring extra stress, packed schedules, and emotions that feel a little heavier than usual. If this season feels overwhelming, you are not alone.
Taking care of yourself truly matters right now. Self care does not have to be big or complicated. Small moments can help you feel more grounded and steady.
• Step outside for a few slow breaths
• Take a quiet minute before you respond during stressful moments
• Give yourself permission to say no when you need to
• Reach out to someone who helps you feel supported
• Make time to rest, even if it is just a short pause in your day
You deserve to feel cared for during the holidays. Your well-being is important, and taking a moment for yourself is not selfish. It is healthy and needed.
