Protecting Your Peace During the Holidays
The holidays can be beautiful...but they can also be emotional, demanding and loud.
For many people, this season brings more than twinkling lights and celebrations. It can stir up old patterns, interesting family dynamics, unspoken expectations, financial pressure, and a constant pull to do more, give more, and be more.
If youâre feeling the weight of that, I want you to know this:
Your peace matters.
You are not required to sacrifice your well-being to honor the season. You are allowed to move through the holidays with intention, gentleness, and boundaries rooted in love.
One of the most powerful practices during this time is prayerânot as a way to fix everything, but as a way to anchor yourself back into your center.
Below is a prayer you can return to whenever things feel overwhelming, overstimulating, or emotionally charged.
A Prayer to Protect Your Peace During the Holidays
Divine Creator and Loving Angels,
Today I am asking for peace.
As this season brings gatherings, expectations, memories, and emotions,
I choose to navigate it all with love.
Protect and bless me at every turn.
Guard my energy from overwhelm, obligation, and comparison.
Help me release the need to please, explain, or overextend myself.
Remind me that it is safe to pause.
It is safe to say no.
It is safe to choose rest, quiet, or whatever nourishes my spirit.
If old patterns arise, bring me the awareness to choose differently.
If tension rises, help me breathe through it and speak with love.
If I feel pulled in many directions, keep me anchored in the present moment.
May I move through this season with clarity, compassion, and love.
Let joy be simple.
Let peace be intentional.
Let my nervous system feel supported and held.
I invite only what aligns with my highest good,
and I release what drains or disrupts my inner harmony.
Thank You for reminding me that peace is not something I have to earn.
It is something I am always worthy of, something I choose, and something I gift to myself.
And so it is.
Amen.
Sending love to light up your day,
Heather
