Episode 208: it's okay if you're not feeling festive

hi friend!

welcome back! on today's episode we're keeping it short & sweet as i give you permission - not that you need it - to feel however you're feeling this holiday season...especially if you're not feeling very festive.

i haven't felt very festive this holiday season which sucks as i typically love the christmas season, but i am honoring where i'm at & not pushing myself to be overly festive just because "i should be." 

i figured if i'm feeling this way, you may be feeling this way as well.  maybe it's your first holiday season without your loved one.  maybe you've been in a funk since the beginning of november...iykyk.  maybe it just feels like too much this year.

no matter what you're reasoning is, it's okay.

going into the next two weeks, don't be afraid to set boundaries for yourself & take the time that you need to feel whatever you're feeling. this doesn't mean you have to sit in it & be the holiday grinch, but it's okay to set a timer, feel the feels & then get back to the festivities in whatever capacity you can.

the holidays can be difficult.  know that you're not alone.  i see you.  i love you.  i'm sending you all of the love.

until next time. xoxoxo
