Be gentle with yourself this Mother's Day weekend. There are so many emotions that come with this day.

Mother’s Day is a special day to celebrate the mothers in our lives and give back to them. But for many people who maybe are grieving the loss of their mom or have strained relationships with their mom, Mother’s Day can be a difficult holiday that brings painful feelings.

If you are struggling with difficult emotions related to Mother’s Day, here are some ideas on how to cope:

🌼 Give yourself permission to feel what you’re feeling: notice when you tell yourself how you “should” feel. Try to replace those thoughts with acceptance of your feelings as they come.

🌼 Express gratitude: motherhood comes in various shapes and forms. Use this day as an opportunity to thank the maternal figures and caregivers who have made a positive impact on your life.

🌼 Decide how *you* want to spend this day: if you’re dreading this holiday, you have the right to treat it like any other Sunday. You could take a break from social media, marathon your favorite comfort show, and forget what day it is. You could also share this day with a supportive friend and tell them what you’re going through. You get to decide what feels right for you.

Remember, it’s completely okay to have complex feelings related to Mother’s Day. For more resources on how to take care of yourself and support others leading up to Mother’s Day, check out our resource page at optionb.org/how-to-get-support-on-mothers-day 💙

The Power of Self-Compassion ♥️🙏🏽💯

"We embrace ourselves, flaws and all, and value ourselves because of, not in spite of, our imperfections. We honor our strengths and our weaknesses. We don't need to do anything to earn this acceptance; we claim it as our birthright." - Dr. Kristin Neff

During the winter, we often need to change our self-care routines to accommodate the weather, the amount of daylight, our schedule, and so forth.
The winter months can be particularly tough on us both physically and mentally. Read more about how to practice self-care during the winter:
