🌿 THURSDAY TIPS 🌿
The holidays can bring connection, warmth, and joy — but they can also stir up stress, loneliness, or emotional exhaustion. If this season feels complicated, you’re not alone.
Making space to appreciate the people around you doesn’t mean forcing yourself to feel cheerful or available all the time. It can be as simple as a kind word, a moment of gratitude, or allowing yourself to receive support when it’s offered.
At the same time, prolonged isolation can quietly deepen stress and make the season feel heavier. Staying connected in small, meaningful ways — on your own terms — can help you feel more grounded and supported.
For those who may not have family to spend time with, I’ve included a QR code on the second slide with local volunteer opportunities. Connecting through service can be one gentle way to experience community and purpose during this season, if that feels right for you.
This holiday season, move at your own pace and choose connection in ways that feel safe and meaningful to you.
