Go Easy on Yourself

Nobody can do it all, and that’s perfectly alright. There might be some disappointments over the holiday season, but keep in mind a lot of factors go into any situation, and you never deserve to shoulder all the blame.

If a gathering doesn’t go as planned, so be it. There will be others. The happiest people are those that can let things go, leave failures in the past, and be kind to themselves. Always treat yourself as you would treat the people closest to your heart, and you’ll stay confident and caring enough to tackle the next challenge that comes your way with grace and dignity.
