The holiday season can stir up many emotions. You don’t have to force ourselves into a particular mood or expectation just because it’s Christmas.
Some years are harder, and some are filled with celebration. Both are valid, and both are part of our journey. Whether you’re experiencing grief, jot, or a mix of both, let yourself be present with it.
Embrace the emotions as they come, knowing that every feeling is a part of the gift of growth that is the holiday season. Remember, it’s not about perfection of the season, but about being true to yourself and your experience.
You are stronger than you know, and even in the hardest moments, there is love and light surrounding you.
Allow yourself to create your own holiday experience—one that supports your heart and your needs.
If you’re finding it hard to celebrate, or if it feels like a time to reflect rather than rejoice, that’s okay. It’s also okay if you are so excited and joyful!
The most important thing is to honour yourself, whether that means taking a quiet moment of solitude or spending time with the people who bring you comfort. The holidays don’t have to be filled with festivities for you to feel their significance.
Christmas is just one part of your journey. Every emotion you experience is an opportunity for growth, healing, and understanding. Whether the season brings tears or laughter, both are valuable. The joy will come again, and so will the peace.
Take this time to nurture yourself, to reflect, and to nurture yourself, knowing that you are loved, seen, and held, even when it doesn’t feel that way.
Big hugs to you 🧡
