Be Realistic
Remember that we are in the midst of a pandemic and you can expect something to not go as planned. It's important we use our words this year (under masks) to show our love and affection.

YOU Time
Maybe this is TMI but I like to use my bathroom breaks as a time to recenter and pause for a minute. Wherever or whenever YOU can, take a minute to appreciate yourself...take a few deep breaths.

Feel your feelings!
Things tend to get a little stressful during the holidays but it's important not to ignore your feelings. A quick journal entry every night before bed is a great way to stay self-aware and empowered.
