Affirmations for Grace this Holiday Season

There’s something this time of year that always feels so hopeful. 

It’s my favorite time of year. The decorations. The gifts. The parties. The love. The magic.

And yet… it can also become a highly stressful time. We all know it. I think many of us live in a chronic state of anxiety around the holidays, sometimes without even knowing.

We’re traveling. We’re with family. We’re trying to wrap up work for the year and also wrap a million presents. We’re decorating, shopping and fighting crowds. We’re seeing lights and shows. And somewhere in there we’re supposed to still eat healthy and make time for self-care through the holidays.

I don’t know about all of that.

The pressure to be everything to everyone during the holidays can sometimes seem like too much to bear. Ever feel like you make it through the holidays and then need a vacation?

That’s not how it has to be and that’s no way to move through the most magical time of the year. So I put together a list of high-vibe affirmations to help you “sleigh” this season.

Don’t get me wrong, I know affirmations might not fix everything, but they are certainly fun and put you into a higher frequency. And by golly, if they make you remember that you have the power, then I’m happy!

Choose the ones that feel the best to you and say them to yourself every morning in the mirror, while driving in the car or whenever you are feeling like you need to boost your personal power. You can also write them down in your journal for a daily “pump up.”

And if you love them, take them beyond the holidays. It’s so much fun to start your day in this way!

Affirmations to Move Through the Holiday Season:

1)    I easily say no to what does not serve me and I do so guilt-free.

2)    It is safe for me to show up to every holiday function as my full self.

3)    I move through the season with ease and grace.

4)    I am enjoying every family event in this present moment.

5)    I am surrounded by the most genuine, thoughtful, kind people this holiday season.

My hope is that these affirmations made you smile and sparked some ideas for new ones to come forth from within you.

Remember, you are the one in charge of you this season. Don’t give your power away to a time of year. Honor and respect yourself and your needs in the same way that you give love and respect to others.

Sending you big love and wishes for a New Year beyond your wildest imagination.
