The holidays can be busy, but don’t forget to rest and recharge. Taking care of yourself is the best way to show up for others. You matter.

Here are a few self-care tips to keep in mind this week:
✨ Give grace: This time of year isn’t joyful for everyone, and it’s okay to feel sad or overwhelmed. Honor your feelings and be kind to yourself. If someone else seems irritated or down, extend understanding—you never know what they might be going through.

✨ Set boundaries: Protect your time and energy by saying no to commitments that feel overwhelming. Prioritize what matters most to you and honor your limits.

✨ Unplug from work: If you're taking time off, fully disconnect from emails and notifications. Set an out-of-office reply and allow yourself to enjoy rest and renewal without distractions.

✨ Ask for help: Don’t hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or a professional if you need support. Sharing how you feel can lighten the load and provide clarity.
