15 Mantras To Combat Holiday Stress
Along with all things merry and bright often comes a heavy dose of the “S” word … stress. Especially this year — when everything we know has been flipped upside down — the holidays may feel even more stressful or lonely than usual. Finances might be tight. Families may argue over what’s safe and what’s not. Many of us will be staying home alone rather than traveling to see loved ones. It’s a lot.
But the good news is that YOU are in control of your feelings! One of my favorite phrases goes something like this: “Not everything you tell yourself is true, but you are the one listening.” It’s just enough of a kick-in-the-pants to remind me that if I want to feel better, I need to tell myself nice things.
