Practice staying calm by reframing your challenges. Please see below a long list of ideas and select what works for you. Turn it into your pre-Christmas mantra so that you will stay calm and enjoy the moment more.
- I didn’t manage to send Christmas cards ➡️ Thank God I didn’t have to send Christmas cards, I have more time for… (insert your favorite).
- I will not see my family this Christmas ➡️ I am grateful that this year I will not spend the Christmas holidays on a plan
- I have lost someone I care about due to COVID and I will be crying all Christmas ➡️ Although I grief the loss of my loved ones, I am grateful for being healthy. I will make the best of this holiday in their name.
- My kids drive me nuts at home ➡️ Kids keep me busy and I am grateful I don’t have to go alone through this isolation.
- I have lost my job ➡️ If my company didn’t survive COVID, it means it would fall apart sooner or later for another reason. Thank God I have another chance to change my work.
- I can’t afford a big Christmas dinner this year ➡️ Luckily I don’t have to cook a lot this year! I will let every guest bring their own dish to make it cozier!
- I will have to work all Christmas ➡️ I am so grateful to still have a job!
- I took too much work before Christmas and I failed on one project ➡️ I learned how to manage my projects better this year and the next one will be so much fun!
- I have too much work ➡️ Yaaay, I can hire my first freelancer soon!
- My Christmas tree looks ridiculous ➡️ We have a tree-like nobody else!
