Hello friend,
It's the happiest time of the year, right?!?!
In our effort to create memories, maintain holiday traditions, or being around family, we can easily ignore taking care of our mental health.
We ignore our triggers. We minimize our stress. We make excuses for grief.
Instead of throwing out our healthy habits, protect the time, and build it into your schedule.
Maintain healthy mental self-care by:
 Keeping your therapy appointments.
Staying physically active.
Practicing gratitude
Getting plenty of rest.
Navigating the holidays can be full of joy, but it can also be a difficult time.
Check out these five tips for YOU.
- Reading: Goodbye Holiday Blues: 3 Practical Way to stay mentally healthy during the holidays and Have a Merry Christmas: 3 ways to enjoy the holiday season
- Reflection Question: How will I prioritize my self-care for my mental health during the holidays?
- Gratitude Journaling Prompt: Write about how God is providing for you in this season. (Order our Do Less, Live More: A Gratitude journal to keep track of your journaling)
- Scripture: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
- Plan: Prioritize how you will take care of you. Create a plan that works for this season.
Friend, your mental health during the holidays matters. I hope you are prioritizing your health and advocating for your needs. Take care of you!
