🎄 Day Four: Self‑Care Matters
Fairmount Behavioral Health
The holidays can pull you in a dozen directions at once. While you’re showing up for everyone else, it’s easy to forget the one person who needs your care the most — you.
Today is your reminder to pause, breathe, and give yourself the same compassion you offer others. Small acts of self‑care can restore your energy, protect your well‑being, and help you stay grounded through the season.
✨ Make space for rest.
✨ Set gentle boundaries.
✨ Choose moments that refill your cup.
✨ Let yourself slow down.

🎄 Day 3: 12 Days of Mental Wellness Tips 🎄
The holidays are often painted as the “most joyful time of the year” — but for many, they can feel overwhelming, stressful, or even lonely. 💭
✨ It’s important to remember: you’re not alone if the season feels heavy. Stress during the holidays is a common experience, and it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
💡 Give yourself permission to slow down, set boundaries, and focus on what truly matters to you. Joy looks different for everyone — and that’s okay.
