The Idea of the Week
Holiday stress is a common experience during the holidays, and there are many contributing factors, including finding the perfect gift for your loved ones. So, finding a gift for yourself may sound like another stressor, but it can be quite the opposite! The gift you give yourself does not have to be physical or expensive or time-consuming. Rather, the gift can be Being Kind to Yourself During the Holiday Hustle (an 8-minute read).
Practice of the Week
Below are two more gift ideas that don’t cost money and can boost your mental well-being!
One present you can give yourself is to be present (a 3-minute read). While the end of the year is fast-approaching, we can still slow down by allowing ourselves to experience the moment.
Another present you can give yourself is to give yourself restorative alone time (a 4-minute read). Amongst the holiday stress, holiday parties, gatherings, and end-of-the-year deadlines, your “me time” may be disrupted. Alternatively, if you do have “me time,” how are you using it? In the article, you’ll learn that sometimes people don’t use their alone time in healthy or restorative ways, and you’ll learn tips to gift yourself restorative alone time.

Meditation of the Week
As mentioned above, a gift you can give yourself is to be kind to yourself. When we’re facing a lot of pressure to live up to the expectations of having a “magical” holiday, we can become overwhelmed by this tall order. Sometimes we can’t meet the expectations the way we originally wanted to, and when this happens, offer yourself loving kindness, anyway, because you deserve peace.
In this week’s 7-minute meditation, Caitlin will guide you through affirmations to direct your kindness to yourself.
