WE ARE STILL TRYING TO TAKE OUR OWN ADVICE… here’s one last nugget

Your nervous system needs more comfort in December — not because you’re weak, but because this season overstimulates every sense and emotion.

Warmth, sensory grounding, and small movements can help reset your body when you feel overwhelmed or “stuck.”

✨ Wrap up in something soft
✨ Sip something warm
✨ Move your body slowly
✨ Use grounding scents (lavender, eucalyptus)

These small practices signal: I am safe. I am here. I am okay

If you notice old patterns resurfacing this month — shutdowns, irritability, wanting to withdraw, people-pleasing, or staying “on edge” — your body is not failing you.

It’s remembering.

The holidays bring up emotional cues, memories, overstimulation, grief, and pressure that can activate trauma responses you thought you’d outgrown.

Give your body compassion, not criticism.
Your nervous system needs safety, gentleness, and grounding — not shame.

You’re not alone in this.

December mornings carry a different kind of weight — darker skies, busier schedules, and emotional pressure can make your day feel heavy before it even begins.

A slow, grounded morning can change your entire nervous system.
✨ Light gently
✨ Move gently
✨ Breathe gently
✨ Start without rushing

Protecting your first 30 minutes is one of the strongest mental health tools you have.

You deserve slow starts and soft mornings this season.

December often feels like a sprint — events, expectations, and emotional weight all hitting at the same time. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or guilty for slowing down, you’re not alone.

Your worth isn’t measured by how much you accomplish this month.
Your rest matters.
Your peace matters.
Your pace matters.

Give yourself permission to soften your schedule, breathe between commitments, and choose what aligns with your emotional capacity.

✨ You’re allowed to move gently this season.
