The Best Affirmations to Get You Through Whatever Holiday Drama Awaits
Despite all the joy that comes with the holidays (good company, your fave sports team winning, and cheesy made-for-TV movies!), it can be stressful navigating the less sparkly aspects of the season. Sadly, you can't always take a break from coping with grief, complex family dynamics, or a boss who refuses to give you the week between Christmas and New Year's Day off. But some (realistic!) words of affirmation might give you a better shot at finding some joy amid the emotional turmoil.
For anyone who's not affirmationing their way through life yet, an affirmation is a short, positive or neutral statement that can help you balance out difficult feelings. To get the most juice out of these pep talks, you can reflect on one throughout your day or week by saying it out loud, in your head, or writing down the phrase somewhere you'll see it.
For anyone dreading tense conversations over dinner:
1. I can use my voice to advocate for my values and what I believe in.
2. I'm allowed to both love and disagree with someone.
3. It's natural to be frustrated and disappointed when I feel unheard and misunderstood.
For anyone struggling with food and self-confidence:
1. My body deserves nourishment, kindness, respect, and care.
2. Nobody has the right to make me feel bad for eating what I want.
3. My worth and value are not based on what's on the scale or in the mirror.
For anyone spending the holidays alone:
1. Being alone does not diminish my inherent value. I am enough.
2. My relationship status does not define me.
3. I am allowed to desire connection and belonging while also acknowledging that I am whole now.
