Not everyone looks forward to the holidays, and that’s okay. ❤️🩹
If this season feels complicated, here are a few gentle ways to care for yourself through it:
🩷 For the one who’s grieving:
Let yourself feel what comes up. Light a candle, share a memory, or create a small ritual to honor your loved one.
🌍 For the one far from home:
Stay connected in small ways: a video call, shared playlist, or cooking a familiar dish can bring comfort and closeness.
💬 For the one with family tension:
Give yourself permission to take breaks. Step outside, call a friend, or have an exit plan if you need space.
💵 For the one struggling financially:
Your presence matters more than presents. Focus on connection and traditions that don’t add financial pressure.
🧠 For the one battling their mental health:
Simplify what you can. Rest, routine, and reaching out, even briefly, can help ground you when things feel heavy.
🌿 For the one healing quietly:
You don’t have to show progress to be growing. Rest, set boundaries, and remember that stillness is part of healing too.
✨ Be gentle with yourself this season. However you show up is enough. Do you relate to any of these experiences? Share your thoughts below.
