During this time of year, emotions tend to run high, both joyful and stressful. While this time of year is one of giving, it is also important to tune into your own emotional needs. You can embrace your compassionate and caring nature while also protecting your energy.
It’s okay to step back and take a breather when you need it. Think of it as giving yourself a moment to recalibrate so you can keep going with a little more ease. When you take the time to check in with yourself, you’re better prepared to navigate all the festive ups and downs without losing your balance.
Allow yourself space to nurture your feelings without absorbing those of others. This practice creates a healthy boundary between offering support and maintaining your peace. Trust your intuition. Recognize when you need to slow down or engage in an activity that restores so you can help maintain a sense of balance and emotional flow. Through this mindful approach, you will be better able to share love and care without depleting yourself.
Protecting your energy isn’t selfish; it’s essential. Taking care of your emotional needs allows you to show up with kindness and authenticity, both for yourself and others. When you give yourself permission to recharge, you’ll find it much easier to enjoy the magic of the season without feeling overwhelmed. A little extra care goes a long way in helping you make the most of this special time.

Today's gift for all of the boxes is Lavender Chamomile Bath Tea. This tea is a calming of lavender and chamomile essential oils, dried lavender and chamomile flower buds, and a blend of Epsom and dead sea salts.
