Last week we shared one of our tips from our latest blog, "3 ways to cope with family conflict over the holidays", and today, we are sharing our second tip to help you navigate the holidays and family conflict. ⁣
⁣
Treat Yourself to a Little Self-Care⁣
When we talk about self-care, we aren't talking about spa days and shopping sprees. We are talking about nurturing yourself inside and out – physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. ⁣
⁣
Here are some of our favorite self-care activities that can activate a healthy mindset and help you have the emotional capacity to deal with family over the holidays:⁣
⁣
😴 Get to bed early. ⁣
🥞 Eat breakfast regularly.⁣
🎵 Listen to music that pumps you up.⁣
😌 Give yourself some downtime every day if you can.⁣
🥗 Allow yourself to take a real lunch break – aka don’t eat at your desk hunched over your computer.⁣
⏰ Leave work early enough to have a few evening hours to yourself.⁣
🎞 Watch your favorite movie. ⁣
🏃 Stay active, even in the winter – physical activity boosts the feel-good hormones in our brain, which is a natural stress-buster.⁣
✅ Do something each day that you’ve been avoiding – even if it’s one small thing, it will help you decrease stress.⁣
🥡 Take yourself out to your favorite meal.⁣
🌬 Get some fresh air every day.⁣
🛋 Allow yourself to be lazy every once in a while.⁣
⁣
We preach the benefits of self-care, and it’s okay to go overboard with self-care during the holiday season. ⁣

We shared three ways to cope with family conflict over the holidays. Take a closer look at one of the tips we shared 👇⁣
⁣
⭐️ Set Boundaries ⭐️⁣
⁣
You CAN set boundaries with your family. The thought of disappointing family or changing tradition often stops people from setting boundaries during the holidays, but your mental health & comfort are crucial. Learning to set boundaries can help reduce anxiety or stress this holiday season.⁣
⁣
Here are some helpful examples of how to set boundaries with your family:⁣
▪️If you’re expected to show up for an all-day Thanksgiving feast, it’s okay to communicate limits. Try saying something like, “I’ll be there! I plan to arrive around 3 pm and will have to leave by 6 pm, but I’m glad I’ll be able to join for a few hours.”⁣
▪️If conflict often erupts at family gatherings, it’s okay to leave. You can say something like, “This fighting is upsetting to me. While I don’t want to leave, I am not going to stay if this continues.”⁣
▪️If certain members of your family like to criticize, judge, or critique you, it’s okay to tell them to stop. Phrases like, “I don’t appreciate you saying that to me”, “I don’t understand what your intention was with that comment”, or “I am asking you to stop saying things like that” are appropriate to say.⁣
⁣
We know it can feel uncomfortable when you establish boundaries with your family, but they are essential for positive interactions & for your mental health. And remember this: setting boundaries is like learning any new skill – the more you do it, the better you’ll be! ⁣
