Day: 1 Re-connect with someone you care about.
Try one of these:
Bake your favorite Christmas cookies together
Sing a Christmas carol for them outside the door or on the phone
Send them a silly Christmas picture, then call to see if they got it
Make or buy a Christmas goodie and drop it off so you can chat
Invite them over for dinner
What will you do to reconnect with a family member or friend?

Day 2: Stay Off of Social Media & News Today
It’s time to feel calmer. For one day, stay off of any social media, news, and even email if it’s not necessary. Unplug completely if you can.
Since you’re not mindlessly surfing the web, you’ll have more time for those self-care practices we talked about! Or add touches to make your home cozy. Or make yourself a self-care kit for winter with your newfound time!

Consider this quote:
“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”
Day 3: Treat Yourself
This is my favorite one on the list!
Schedule a luxurious act of self-love ahead of time. Have your partner give you a massage, buy yourself flowers, get your nails done, or get a cup of coffee you’ve been eyeing.
It doesn’t have to be expensive to boost your spirits. Whatever you do, make it something to look forward to!

Day 4: Take a Nap
Holiday self-care: take a nap already
Sounds easy right?
But is it?
I DREAM about naps, but hardly ever take them. However, this year, the mom gets a break too.
So, no excuses friends! Get in at least 30 minutes for some restful shut-eye.

Day 5: Center Yourself Before the Hustle & Bustle
Finally, before Christmas day, partake in one activity that centers you completely.
Perhaps a tough workout, meditation, sleep affirmations, or a long talk with your mom.
Whatever the case, wind down your racing mind. Doing this will help you enjoy the sights and sounds of the season, without the panicked stress of getting it all together.
