This time of year is so difficult. It’s dark, it’s cold, and the holidays bring all sorts of mixed feelings. On one hand, there’s the promise of joy and charity and togetherness, and on the other the reality of rampant consumerism and the unrelenting pressures of maintaining a veneer of cheerful holiday spirit, no matter what.
Remember to breathe. Remember to find ease. Remember that your own reality is, in fact, real. Find moments of peace wherever you can.
This, too, shall pass.
