Culturally, the holiday season is a time of joyous celebration but for many, it can also be a time that brings up many emotions related to past and present loved ones or previous experiences. It is hard not to get caught up in certain emotions or become weighed down by stressors. We know that in life comes joy and sorrow, so we are certainly not suggesting relentlessly focusing on positivity. But when we are experiencing low moods, we can take steps to improve our outlook. No matter where you are starting from, you can always make it just a little bit better.
Whether you are majorly stressed, absolutely ecstatic, or anywhere in between this week, try to focus on the things that bring you happiness and joy. There are very small acts of meaning and beauty happening every day in our lives we just have to tune into those moments or places. Every morning, write down one thing you are excited about or looking forward to that day. Every night, write down three things you are grateful for. By doing this, you can begin and end each day with thankful appreciation!
