I finally figured out the source of my holiday blues – I miss my previous house. It had the best options for all of my Christmas tchotchkes, and it brought me joy to decorate. Also, I loved the house as I had picked out the plans and put personal touches in it to reflect me. I just hadn’t mourned the loss of it yet and Christmas brought it out of me.
But no more! We are putting a positive spin on this b🤬🤬🤬h, especially now that I’m feeling better (or because the cold meds have kicked in 🤷🏼♀️). And because it’s time to get my head out of my ass 😁. I’m sure that’s what my friend and sister were subconsciously saying when I whined to them (yes, I’m joking 😆).
So, if you’re feeling the blues, this is what we are going to do, put on our favorite Christmas (or Hannukah or Kwanza or any other holiday I am missing) music and dance like no one is watching. Then we are going to make some delicious hot coco, grab some cookies and find our favorite holiday special, sit down (maybe throw in a hot bath while we’re at it) and enjoy a few hours of much needed self-care.
Once we’ve finished recharging, we are going to pick ourselves up and get on with the business of life. And maybe do something nice for a stranger, like buy them a cup of coffee or pay for a meal. It’s amazing how doing something nice for someone else can really make a person feel good. And this is the perfect time of the year to do so 😊.
I therefore declare my period of wallowing over and done with, so sayeth the Goddess of All That I Survey (me 😆).
We will now resume our regularly scheduled program 😜.
Note: If you find yourself struggling this holiday season, please reach out to your therapist or check out the Resource page for help. You don’t have to work through your problems alone.
