✨ DAY 12 of 12: Twelve Days of Compassion ✨
Compassion—toward yourself and others—is one of the strongest predictors of resilience.
It softens self-criticism, strengthens emotional regulation, and creates space for healing.

🎄 Holiday Invitation:
For the next twelve days, offer small acts of compassion to:
• Your past self- who tried, even when it was hard
• Your present self - who’s doing the best they can
• Your future self - who will benefit from the care you give today
Compassion isn’t indulgent. It’s maintenance for the mind.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
If this season feels heavy, reaching out is a powerful act of self-compassion. Support is here whenever you’re ready.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Open Minds Psychological!

✨ DAY 11 of 12: Eleven Moments of Gratitude ✨
Gratitude isn’t about forcing positivity or pretending everything feels okay.

🎄 Holiday Invitation:
Notice eleven small things today:
warm socks
quiet mornings
a soft blanket
a laugh you didn’t expect
a favorite song
a warm drink
a kind message
a moment of rest
a deep breath
a cozy light
a memory that still makes you smile
Small moments count. They are real, and they help anchor the mind.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
If gratitude feels out of reach, that’s not a failure, it’s a sign you may need more support. You’re not alone, and help is here.

✨ DAY 10 of 12: Ten Signs You Need a Break ✨

For many of us, burnout rarely shows up as “I’m tired.”
It shows up as irritability, withdrawal, trouble concentrating, racing thoughts, emotional numbness, and a sense that you have to push harder just to keep up.
These aren’t flaws , they’re signals from a nervous system that needs rest.

🎄 Holiday Reminder:
Rest is not a reward.
It’s regulation.
It’s maintenance.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
If slowing down feels impossible, we can help you learn how. You don’t have to hold everything together on your own.

✨ DAY 9 of 12: Nine Ways to Support a Child’s Big Feelings ✨

During the holidays, routines shift, stimulation increases, and emotions run high.

🎄 Nine Ways to Support a Child’s Big Feelings:
• Validate feelings (“I see you're upset”)
• Stay predictable when possible
• Offer simple choices
• Maintain familiar routines
• Model calm behavior
• Check for hunger, thirst, or fatigue
• Prepare kids for transitions
• Use a calm, steady tone
• Keep expectations age-appropriate
These small steps help kids feel grounded when the world around them feels extra busy.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
Parent coaching and therapy can help families move through the season with more ease. You don’t have to navigate the stress alone.

✨ DAY 8 of 12: Eight Minutes of Movement ✨

🎄 Holiday Reminder:
Between events, schedule changes, school breaks, long car rides, and sensory overload, a small movement break can make a big difference.
A quick walk, stretch, dance, or shake-out is enough to help reset the nervous system.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
If ADHD symptoms feel harder to manage during the holidays, support is here. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

✨ DAY 7 of 12: Seven Conversations Couples Need Before the Holidays ✨

Most holiday conflict between couples doesn’t come from disagreements, it comes from unspoken expectations.

A few intentional conversations now can prevent stress later and help you show up as a team. These conversations aren’t about perfection, they’re about clarity, care, and partnership.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
Healthy communication is a skill. Couples therapy can help strengthen your connection this season and beyond.

✨ DAY 6 of 12: Six Seconds to Reset ✨

For OCD and intrusive thoughts, even a brief grounding practice can interrupt the cycle and bring you back into the present moment.
A reset doesn’t need to be long, just intentional.

🎄 Holiday Reminder:
When routines shift, schedules change, and stress spikes, use this simple practice to steady your mind.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
If intrusive thoughts are taking up more space right now, effective treatment is available. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

✨ DAY 5 of 12: Five Acts of Kindness ✨

When depression makes everything feel heavy, motivation isn’t what gets you moving, small action does. Gently engaging with the world can help lift your mood.

🎄 Holiday Reminder:
A simple act of kindness boosts dopamine for both the giver and the receiver.
Hold the door. Compliment someone. Send a kind text.
Small acts count. They add up.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
If you’re struggling to feel joy this season, you don’t have to go through it alone. We’re here to support you through the heaviness.

✨ DAY 4 of 12: Four Quiet Moments ✨

🎄 Holiday Reminder:
A quiet cup of tea…
a slow walk…
sitting with the glow of the lights…
or simply taking a peaceful breath—
These small pauses can be deeply restorative in a busy season.

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
Your mental health matters just as much as everything you’re juggling. Give yourself permission to take the quiet moments your mind and body deserve.

DAY 3 of 12: Three Boundaries That Protect Your Peace ✨

Boundaries aren’t walls, they’re agreements about what you can hold and what you can’t.

Especially during the holidays, they’re essential for emotional wellbeing.
🎄 Holiday Boundaries to Practice:
• “I can’t add anything else to my plate.”
• “Let’s talk about this after the holidays.”
• “I need a little space today.”

💛 From Open Minds Psychological:
If setting boundaries feels difficult, therapy can help you build the clarity, confidence, and compassion needed to communicate them, without guilt.
