Prioritizing Joy This Holiday Season
Okay everyone, we are officially in the full swing of the holiday season. Some of us are spending this time with friends, family, and loved ones. Others are taking a step back and choosing to care for themselves so they can end the year with peace and positivity. And then there are the brave souls who have surrendered to the chaos—fighting traffic, hopping from store to store, trying to find that perfect gift, the perfect decoration, or that one item guaranteed to make your festive setup out-sparkle everyone else’s.
Whatever you’re choosing to do, make sure it’s the thing that truly makes you happy. Take this time to focus on what will bring you the most joy this month. Maybe that’s peaceful time alone, or maybe it’s being surrounded by friends and family. Either way, honor what feels right for you.
Just don’t overextend yourself to the point where you start 2026 already drained. Let’s gift ourselves better choices, gentler schedules, and a plan that sets us up for a successful, healthy, and happy new year.
