✨ Pause Before You React ✨
This time of year can be heavy in ways we don’t always see.
That person who flinched at the Christmas music…
That person you bleeped at in traffic…
That person with sadness quietly sitting in their eyes…
For some, the holidays carry the weight of loss, heartbreak, or memories that ache a little sharper in December.
A breakup, the passing of a loved one, or even just loneliness can make the season feel less like celebration and more like survival.
So before you react, pause. Offer patience. Extend kindness.
Your gentleness might be the gift someone needs most right now. Smile at a stranger, offer a hand to someone struggling and pause before you react.
Be kind to yourself as well, your doing the best you can you the awareness and knowledge you have at the time 💙
