Christmas Day: A Quiet Reminder to Put Yourself First.
Christmas day wrap up.
As Christmas arrives, I want to offer you one final, gentle reminder - you are allowed to move through today in the way that feels safest, calmest and most aligned with who you are.
Over the past six weeks, we’ve explored how to prepare for difficult family dynamics, how to set boundaries, how to plan exits, how to stay grounded, how to redefine old traditions and how to reach for support when you need it.
You’ve done the work.
You’ve reflected, planned, softened and strengthened.
Here are the only things you need to remember.
You are not responsible for anyone else’s mood.
You get to choose peace over pressure.
You’re allowed to pause, breathe, step away or leave.
You can create small moments of calm in the middle of chaos.
You don’t have to perform happiness. Your real feelings matter.
You’re allowed to make Christmas your own - completely.
focus on you.
Today is joyful, soak it in.
If it’s complicated, move gently.
If it’s heavy, reach out.
If it’s quiet, let it be restful.
If at any moment you feel overwhelmed, come back to your grounding:
Your breath.
Your body.
Your boundaries.
Your safe people.
Your exit plan.
Your centre.
You’ve already learned what the tools in your kit look like and hopefully you’ve been practicing how to use them.
Today is simply about honouring yourself - with softness, courage and compassion.
my wish for you.
Wishing you a calm, grounded Christmas.
If you need support, I’m here.
Always.
