Grief and gratitude often sit side by side this time of year.
Both can be true. Both are allowed.
You don’t have to choose one to honor the other.

Some traditions are loud and long-standing.
Others arrive gently and almost unnoticed. They stay because they fit.
This season, you’re allowed to choose what feels sustainable,
what brings steadiness,
and what makes space for the life you’re living right now.
Meaning doesn’t come from doing it the same way.
It comes from doing it with care.

Many times your attention is a limited resource.
Where you place it shapes how this season feels.
You’re allowed to choose what you engage with.
You’re allowed to let some things pass by quietly.
You’re allowed to save your energy for what actually matters to you.
Less can be enough.
And sometimes, it’s exactly right.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’m sharing 12 gentle reminders for the Christmas season for the overwhelmed, the grieving, the anxious, and the ones trying their best.

From a mental health perspective, presence is regulating.
For kids, it builds safety and connection.
For adults, it lowers stress and brings us back into our bodies.
This season, consider giving yourself permission to:
✨ slow the pace
✨ lower the bar
✨ choose connection over performance
You don’t have to be fully present all the time to be a good parent.
Small moments of attuned connection matter more than doing it all right.
Peace over perfect.
Connection over comparison.

If you feel the pressure to plan, prepare, create magic, keep everyone happy, and somehow also enjoy every second. I’m here to remind you that you’re one person.
And your nervous system has limits.
And you’re not falling behind if you need to pause, breathe, or simplify.
You are allowed to be human this holiday season.

As a therapist, I often feel that the hardest part living with anxiety is sitting with it long enough to slow down and regulate when it shows up. To say anxiety says I’m not okay but anxiety isn’t always right. Anxiety says I will always feel this way but anxiety isn’t always right. Anxiety says I’m in danger but I know I am safe. Helping our body physically move into a different state helps the anxiety slow down.

Anxiety shows up fast during the holidays.
The schedules you can’t control,
the crowds,
the traffic,
the events stacked on top of each other,
the pressure to be everywhere
and everything.
And when your nervous system is already stretched,
it’s easy to believe this is how it’s always going to feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, never caught up.
But here’s the truth your body needs:
You are allowed to slow down,
even when the world speeds up.
Step back.
Take one breath.
Do the next small thing.
Your nervous system doesn’t need perfection
it just needs space.

For the person stepping into December with a full heart and a tired soul…
This month holds a strange mix of joy and pressure. It asks you to show up, celebrate, remember, give, host, and still somehow hold yourself together.
So instead of creating a long list of goals, try choosing goals that speak to your heart, not your productivity.

11/29/2025

But in all seriousness, one way to make the upcoming week feel a little less overwhelming is to rest. Give yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and recover from all the holiday hustle. Your mind will thank you later.

Because the truth is: holidays don’t magically quiet anxiety, soften family tension, or pause whatever you’re carrying internally. But giving yourself grace creates room to breathe. And practicing even small moments of gratitude helps your nervous system settle, not perform.
Grace says: I don’t have to show up perfectly.
Gratitude says: There’s still something here I can hold onto.
If tomorrow feels full, enjoy it.
If tomorrow feels heavy, be gentle.
If tomorrow is a mix of both, that’s okay, breathe.
