Not Every Holiday Moment Feels Magical — And That’s Okay
The holidays can feel magical for many—but we also know they can feel daunting, stressful, or overwhelming. Between endless to-dos, family obligations, and social expectations, it’s easy to forget to care for yourself.
Here are 3 ways to take care of yourself this December:
1. Physical Rest
Restore your body and calm your mind by giving yourself space to recharge.
Ideas to try:
- Lie still for 5 minutes
- Take an afternoon nap
- Gentle stretches or yoga
- Enjoy a warm bath before bed
- Use a soft blanket for cozy comfort
2. Mental Rest
Ease cognitive fatigue by giving your brain a break from constant thinking and decision-making.
Ideas to try:
- Avoid multitasking
- Time-block your calendar
- Do a “brain dump” journaling session
- Simplify daily choices (like meal prep)
- Take short breaks throughout your day
3. Emotional Rest
Support your emotional well-being by processing feelings and allowing yourself to be authentic.
Ideas to try::
- Name and acknowledge your emotions
- Spend time with people you trust
- Journal your emotions
- Set healthy boundaries at work or home
December doesn’t have to feel perfect to feel meaningful. Even small pauses and simple rituals can make a big difference. Be kind to yourself—you deserve it.
