Your Permission Slip to Enjoy the Holidays
and a few other holiday reminders
Happy Christmas Eve Eve!
Rather than a full article this week, I’m using this post as a reminder for everyone (*cough* me) that the holidays are supposed to be fun!! They are supposed to be a celebration!!
Give yourself permission to relax.
Bake because you want to bake, not because you feel like you have to make something festive
Allow what you make to be imperfect!! Don’t stress yourself out over an 🔹optional🔹 activity
Comparison is terrible for happiness, 0/10 - do not recommend
Fill your days with things that brought you joy as a kid. Give your favorite ornament a prime location on the tree. Play some board games. Watch the animated Grinch in your pajamas. Eat the cookie without calculating how much protein you need to add!
Handwrite at least one card to someone you love.
You don’t have to talk about New Year’s Resolutions! Maybe instead you can reflect on highlights from this past year. What brought you the most joy?
Lastly, a gentle reminder that happiness is created 🦋 Choose to create memories and choose activities that keep the fire lit in your soul
